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

KITMast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit; Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for the cytokine KITLG/SCF and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration and function, and in melanogenesis. In response to KITLG/SCF binding, KIT can activate several signaling pathways. Phosphorylates PIK3R1, PLCG1, SH2B2/APS and CBL. Activates the AKT1 signaling pathway by phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Activat [...] (975 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
   
 0.999
PIK3R1
Phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1.
   
 0.978
GRB2
Growth factor receptor bound protein 2.
   
 0.974
PTPN11
Tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type; Belongs to the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family. Non- receptor class 2 subfamily.
   
 0.968
NRAS
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 0.966
PIK3CA
Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit.
   
 0.960
PIK3R3
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 0.944
PIK3R2
Uncharacterized protein.
    
 0.944
STAT3
Signal transducer and activator of transcription.
   
 0.944
INS
Insulin A chain; Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis, the pentose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver.
