Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

GKN2Gastrokine-2; Gastrokine 2. (184 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
GKN1
Gastrokine-1; Has mitogenic activity and may be involved in maintaining the integrity of the gastric mucosal epithelium.
  
  
0.986
TFF2
Trefoil factor 2; Inhibits gastrointestinal motility and gastric acid secretion. Could function as a structural component of gastric mucus, possibly by stabilizing glycoproteins in the mucus gel through interactions with carbohydrate side chains (By similarity).
   
  
 0.675
MUC6
Mucin-6; May provide a mechanism for modulation of the composition of the protective mucus layer related to acid secretion or the presence of bacteria and noxious agents in the lumen. Plays an important role in the cytoprotection of epithelial surfaces and are used as tumor markers in a variety of cancers. May play a role in epithelial organogenesis.
   
  
 0.638
MUCL3
Mucin-like protein 3; May modulate NF-kappaB signaling and play a role in cell growth.
   
  
 0.608
PGC
Gastricsin; Hydrolyzes a variety of proteins; Belongs to the peptidase A1 family.
   
  
 0.603
TFF1
Trefoil factor 1; Stabilizer of the mucous gel overlying the gastrointestinal mucosa that provides a physical barrier against various noxious agents. May inhibit the growth of calcium oxalate crystals in urine.
   
  
 0.583
MUC5AC
Mucin-5AC; Gel-forming glycoprotein of gastric and respiratory tract epithelia that protects the mucosa from infection and chemical damage by binding to inhaled microorganisms and particles that are subsequently removed by the mucociliary system. Interacts with H.pylori in the gastric epithelium, Barrett's esophagus as well as in gastric metaplasia of the duodenum (GMD).
   
  
 0.567
LIPF
Lipase F, gastric type.
   
  
 0.543
ATP4A
Potassium-transporting ATPase alpha chain 1; Catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of H(+) and K(+) ions across the plasma membrane. Responsible for acid production in the stomach.
   
  
 0.529
A4GNT
Alpha-1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase; Catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to core 2 branched O-glycans. Necessary for the synthesis of type III mucin which is specifically produced in the stomach, duodenum, and pancreatic duct. May protect against inflammation-associated gastric adenocarcinomas (By similarity).
