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

ASIPAgouti-signaling protein; Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment). (131 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CBD103
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.916
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.
   
  
 0.872
DCT
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.802
AHCY
Adenosylhomocysteinase; Belongs to the adenosylhomocysteinase family.
   
  
 0.783
ATRN
Attractin.
    
 
 0.757
MITF
Melanocyte inducing transcription factor.
      
 0.746
RALY
RRM domain-containing protein.
      
 0.723
GIMAP1
GTPase, IMAP family member 1.
   
  
 0.709
EDN3
Endothelin-3; Endothelins are endothelium-derived vasoconstrictor peptides.
   
  
 0.706
STX17
Syntaxin 17; Belongs to the syntaxin family.
   
  
 0.671
