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.

HBA1Hemoglobin subunit alpha 1. (142 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
HBA2
Hemoglobin subunit alpha; Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues.
  
 
0.998
HBB
Hemoglobin subunit beta; Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues. [Spinorphin]: functions as an endogenous inhibitor of enkephalin-degrading enzymes such as DPP3, and as a selective antagonist of the P2RX3 receptor which is involved in pain signaling, these properties implicate it as a regulator of pain and inflammation; Belongs to the globin family.
  
 
0.998
HBE1
Hemoglobin subunit epsilon; The epsilon chain is a beta-type chain of early mammalian embryonic hemoglobin; Belongs to the globin family.
  
 
0.997
HBD
Hemoglobin subunit delta; Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues; Belongs to the globin family.
  
 
0.996
HBG1
Hemoglobin subunit gamma 1.
  
 
0.989
HBG2
Hemoglobin subunit gamma-2; Gamma chains make up the fetal hemoglobin F, in combination with alpha chains.
   
 
0.988
AHSP
Alpha-hemoglobin-stabilizing protein; Acts as a chaperone to prevent the harmful aggregation of alpha-hemoglobin during normal erythroid cell development. Specifically protects free alpha-hemoglobin from precipitation. It is predicted to modulate pathological states of alpha-hemoglobin excess such as beta- thalassemia; Belongs to the AHSP family.
   
 
 0.969
HP
Haptoglobin alpha chain; As a result of hemolysis, hemoglobin is found to accumulate in the kidney and is secreted in the urine. Haptoglobin captures, and combines with free plasma hemoglobin to allow hepatic recycling of heme iron and to prevent kidney damage. Haptoglobin also acts as an antioxidant, has antibacterial activity, and plays a role in modulating many aspects of the acute phase response. Hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes are rapidly cleared by the macrophage CD163 scavenger receptor expressed on the surface of liver Kupfer cells through an endocytic lysosomal degradation pathway.
   
 
 0.959
CD163
Scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130; Acute phase-regulated receptor involved in clearance and endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes by macrophages and may thereby protect tissues from free hemoglobin-mediated oxidative damage. May play a role in the uptake and recycling of iron, via endocytosis of hemoglobin/haptoglobin and subsequent breakdown of heme. Binds hemoglobin/haptoglobin complexes in a calcium-dependent and pH- dependent manner. Exhibits a higher affinity for complexes of hemoglobin and multimeric haptoglobin of HP*1F phenotype than for complexes o [...]

KLF1
Krueppel-like factor 1; Transcription regulator of erythrocyte development that probably serves as a general switch factor during erythropoiesis. Is a dual regulator of fetal-to-adult globin switching. Binds to the CACCC box in the beta-globin gene promoter and acts as a preferential activator of this gene. Furthermore, it binds to the BCL11A promoter and activates expression of BCL11A, which in turn represses the HBG1 and HBG2 genes. This dual activity ensures that, in most adults, fetal hemoglobin levels are low. Able to activate CD44 and AQP1 promoters. When sumoylated, acts as a tr [...]
