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.

HSD17B8Estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase 8; NAD-dependent 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase with highest activity towards estradiol. Has very low activity towards testosterone. The heterotetramer with CBR4 has NADH- dependent 3-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase activity, and thereby plays a role in mitochondrial fatty acid biosynthesis. Within the heterotetramer, HSD17B8 binds NADH; CBR4 binds NADPD. Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. (261 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CBR4
Carbonyl reductase family member 4; The heterotetramer with HSD17B8 has NADH-dependent 3- ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase activity, and thereby plays a role in mitochondrial fatty acid biosynthesis. Within the heterotetramer, HSD17B8 binds NADH; CBR4 binds NADPD. The homotetramer has NADPH-dependent quinone reductase activity. Both homotetramer and the heterotetramer have broad substrate specificity and can reduce 9,10- phenanthrenequinone, 1,4-benzoquinone and various other o-quinones and p-quinones (in vitro).

OXSM
3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] synthase, mitochondrial; May play a role in the biosynthesis of lipoic acid as well as longer chain fatty acids required for optimal mitochondrial function. Belongs to the thiolase-like superfamily. Beta-ketoacyl-ACP synthases family.
 0.975
HSD17B12
Very-long-chain 3-oxoacyl-CoA reductase; Catalyzes the second of the four reactions of the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzymatic process, allows the addition of two carbons to the chain of long- and very long-chain fatty acids/VLCFAs per cycle. This enzyme has a 3-ketoacyl-CoA reductase activity, reducing 3-ketoacyl-CoA to 3- hydroxyacyl-CoA, within each cycle of fatty acid elongation. Thereby, it may participate in the production of VLCFAs of different chain lengths that are involved in multiple biological processes as precursors of membra [...]

HSD17B3
Testosterone 17-beta-dehydrogenase 3; Favors the reduction of androstenedione to testosterone. Uses NADPH while the two other EDH17B enzymes use NADH.
 
 
 0.964
HSD17B1
Estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase 1; Favors the reduction of estrogens and androgens. Also has 20- alpha-HSD activity. Uses preferentially NADH; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
  
  
 0.957
HSD17B7
3-keto-steroid reductase; Responsible for the reduction of the keto group on the C-3 of sterols; Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family. ERG27 subfamily.
     
 0.957
HSD11B1
Corticosteroid 11-beta-dehydrogenase isozyme 1; Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of cortisol to the inactive metabolite cortisone. Catalyzes reversibly the conversion of 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta-hydroxycholesterol. In intact cells, the reaction runs only in one direction, from 7-ketocholesterol to 7-beta- hydroxycholesterol (By similarity).
  
 
 0.950
FASN
3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] dehydratase; Fatty acid synthetase catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and NADPH. This multifunctional protein has 7 catalytic activities as an acyl carrier protein.
  
 0.942
SLC39A7
Zinc transporter SLC39A7; Zinc transporter, that transports Zn(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi apparatus to the cytosol. Transport is stimulated by growth factors, such as EGF, and Ca(2+), as well as by exogenous Zn(2+); Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family. KE4/Catsup subfamily.
 
 
 
 0.938
SEPTIN3
Neuronal-specific septin-3; Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in cytokinesis (Potential); Belongs to the TRAFAC class TrmE-Era-EngA-EngB-Septin-like GTPase superfamily. Septin GTPase family.
