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.

OCA2OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein. (777 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TYR
Tyrosinase; This is a copper-containing oxidase that functions in the formation of pigments such as melanins and other polyphenolic compounds. Catalyzes the initial and rate limiting step in the cascade of reactions leading to melanin production from tyrosine. In addition to hydroxylating tyrosine to DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), also catalyzes the oxidation of DOPA to DOPA-quinone, and possibly the oxidation of DHI (5,6-dihydroxyindole) to indole-5,6 quinone. Belongs to the tyrosinase family.
   
  
 0.948
SLC24A5
Solute carrier family 24 member 5; Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family.
  
  
 0.945
AMACR
Solute carrier family 45 member 2.
      
 0.936
ACP1
Acid phosphatase 1.
  
 
 0.852
GPR143
G protein-coupled receptor 143.
   
  
 0.813
DCT
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.714
RAB38
RAB38, member RAS oncogene family.
      
 0.706
GET3
ATPase GET3; ATPase required for the post-translational delivery of tail- anchored (TA) proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum. Recognizes and selectively binds the transmembrane domain of TA proteins in the cytosol. This complex then targets to the endoplasmic reticulum by membrane-bound receptors, where the tail-anchored protein is released for insertion. This process is regulated by ATP binding and hydrolysis. ATP binding drives the homodimer towards the closed dimer state, facilitating recognition of newly synthesized TA membrane proteins. ATP hydrolysis is required for insertion. S [...]
    
 0.705
KITLG
Processed kit ligand; Stimulates the proliferation of mast cells. Able to augment the proliferation of both myeloid and lymphoid hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow culture. Mediates also cell-cell adhesion. Acts synergistically with other cytokines, probably interleukins.
      
 0.689
HHATL
Hedgehog acyltransferase like.
   
  
 0.685
