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.

LCNL1
Lipocln_cytosolic_FA-bd_dom domain-containing protein; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
  
 0.606
CRISP2
Cysteine rich secretory protein 2; Belongs to the CRISP family.
      
 0.591
GM2A
GM2 ganglioside activator.
   
  
 0.583
SLC9A3R2
Na(+)/H(+) exchange regulatory cofactor NHE-RF; Scaffold protein that connects plasma membrane proteins with members of the ezrin/moesin/radixin family and thereby helps to link them to the actin cytoskeleton and to regulate their surface expression.
   
   0.551
SMPD1
Sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase; Converts sphingomyelin to ceramide.
   
  
 0.545
LAMP2
Lysosomal associated membrane protein 2.
   
  
 0.513
FTL
Ferritin light chain; Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity); Belongs to the ferritin family.
