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.

OTPHomeobox protein orthopedia; Probably involved in the differentiation of hypothalamic neuroendocrine cells. (325 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
RAX
Retinal homeobox protein Rx; Plays a critical role in eye formation by regulating the initial specification of retinal cells and/or their subsequent proliferation. Binds to the photoreceptor conserved element-I (PCE- 1/Ret 1) in the photoreceptor cell-specific arrestin promoter.
   
  
0.948
ALX3
Homeobox protein aristaless-like 3; Transcriptional regulator with a possible role in patterning of mesoderm during development.
   
  
0.944
RAX2
Retina and anterior neural fold homeobox protein 2; May be involved in modulating the expression of photoreceptor specific genes. Binds to the Ret-1 and Bat-1 element within the rhodopsin promoter.
   
  
0.941
ESX1
Homeobox protein ESX1-C; May coordinately regulate cell cycle progression and transcription during spermatogenesis. Inhibits degradation of polyubiquitinated cyclin A and cyclin B1 and thereby arrests the cell cycle at early M phase. ESXR1-N acts as a transcriptional repressor. Binds to the sequence 5'-TAATGTTATTA-3' which is present within the first intron of the KRAS gene and inhibits its expression. ESXR1-C has the ability to inhibit cyclin turnover.
   
   
0.940
ARX
Homeobox protein ARX; Transcription factor required for normal brain development. May be important for maintenance of specific neuronal subtypes in the cerebral cortex and axonal guidance in the floor plate; Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily.
   
  
0.922
DRGX
Dorsal root ganglia homeobox protein; Transcription factor required for the formation of correct projections from nociceptive sensory neurons to the dorsal horn of the spinal cord and normal perception of pain.
   
  
0.909
UNCX
Homeobox protein unc-4 homolog; Transcription factor involved in somitogenesis and neurogenesis. Required for the maintenance and differentiation of particular elements of the axial skeleton. May act upstream of PAX9. Plays a role in controlling the development of connections of hypothalamic neurons to pituitary elements, allowing central neurons to reach the peripheral blood circulation and to deliver hormones for control of peripheral functions (By similarity); Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Unc-4 subfamily.
   
  
0.900
ALX4
Homeobox protein aristaless-like 4; Transcription factor involved in skull and limb development. Plays an essential role in craniofacial development, skin and hair follicle development; Belongs to the paired homeobox family.
   
  
0.900
SHOX
Short stature homeobox protein; Controls fundamental aspects of growth and development; Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily.
   
  
0.884
SHOX2
Short stature homeobox protein 2; May be a growth regulator and have a role in specifying neural systems involved in processing somatosensory information, as well as in face and body structure formation; Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Bicoid subfamily.
