STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
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.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

SLC11A2Solute carrier family 11 member 2. (598 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SLC11A1
Natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1; Divalent transition metal (iron and manganese) transporter involved in iron metabolism and host resistance to certain pathogens. Macrophage-specific membrane transport function. Controls natural resistance to infection with intracellular parasites. Pathogen resistance involves sequestration of Fe(2+) and Mn(2+), cofactors of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic catalases and superoxide dismutases, not only to protect the macrophage against its own generation of reactive oxygen species, but to deny the cations to the pathogen for synthesis [...]
  
 
0.911
IREB2
Iron responsive element binding protein 2; Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family.
   
  
 0.736
HEPH
Hephaestin; Belongs to the multicopper oxidase family.
  
 
 0.729
SLC40A1
Solute carrier family 40 protein; May be involved in iron transport and iron homeostasis. Belongs to the ferroportin (FP) (TC 2.A.100) family. SLC40A subfamily.
      
 0.691
ATP13A3
Cation-transporting ATPase; Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type V subfamily.
   
 
 0.678
HAMP
Hepcidin; Seems to act as a signaling molecule involved in the maintenance of iron homeostasis. Seems to be required in conjunction with HFE to regulate both intestinal iron absorption and iron storage in macrophages. May also have antimicrobial activity (By similarity). Belongs to the hepcidin family.
      
 0.617
SLC29A1
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.614
SLC28A3
Sodium/nucleoside cotransporter; Belongs to the concentrative nucleoside transporter (CNT) (TC 2.A.41) family.
  
  
 0.603
TFRC
Transferrin receptor protein 1; Cellular uptake of iron occurs via receptor-mediated endocytosis of ligand-occupied transferrin receptor into specialized endosomes. Endosomal acidification leads to iron release. The apotransferrin-receptor complex is then recycled to the cell surface with a return to neutral pH and the concomitant loss of affinity of apotransferrin for its receptor. Transferrin receptor is necessary for development of erythrocytes and the nervous system (By similarity). Positively regulates T and B cell proliferation through iron uptake (By similarity); Belongs to the [...]
