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.

Score
SPINT2Kunitz-type protease inhibitor 2; Inhibitor of HGF activator. Also inhibits plasmin, plasma and tissue kallikrein, and factor XIa. (252 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
HGFAC
Hepatocyte growth factor activator short chain; Activates hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) by converting it from a single chain to a heterodimeric form; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
    
 
 0.968
EPCAM
Epithelial cell adhesion molecule; May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E.
   
  
 0.911
C19orf33
Immortalization up-regulated protein; Chromosome 19 open reading frame 33.
   
  
 0.885
HGF
Hepatocyte growth factor alpha chain; Potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells, seems to be a hepatotrophic factor, and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. Activating ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET by binding to it and promoting its dimerization. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily.
    
 0.871
ST14
Suppressor of tumorigenicity 14 protein; Degrades extracellular matrix. Proposed to play a role in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Exhibits trypsin-like activity as defined by cleavage of synthetic substrates with Arg or Lys as the P1 site. Involved in the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes through prostasin (PRSS8) activation and filaggrin (FLG) processing.
   
 
 0.839
MST1
Hepatocyte growth factor-like protein alpha chain; Macrophage stimulating 1.
    
 0.819
CCZ1
CCZ1 homolog, vacuolar protein trafficking and biogenesis associated.
   
   0.811
PRSS8
Prostasin heavy chain; Possesses a trypsin-like cleavage specificity with a preference for poly-basic substrates. Stimulates epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity through activating cleavage of the gamma subunits (SCNN1G).
   
 
 0.791
PNOC
Prepronociceptin; [Nociceptin]: Ligand of the opioid receptor-like receptor OPRL1. It may act as a transmitter in the brain by modulating nociceptive and locomotor behavior. May be involved in neuronal differentiation and development. [Orphanin FQ2]: Has potent analgesic activity. Belongs to the opioid neuropeptide precursor family.
   
  
 0.723
HPN
Serine protease hepsin non-catalytic chain; Serine protease that cleaves extracellular substrates, and contributes to the proteolytic processing of growth factors, such as HGF and MST1/HGFL. Plays a role in cell growth and maintenance of cell morphology. Plays a role in the proteolytic processing of ACE2. Mediates the proteolytic cleavage of urinary UMOD that is required for UMOD polymerization. Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
