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

CD40LGCD40 ligand; Cytokine that acts as a ligand to CD40/TNFRSF5. Costimulates T-cell proliferation and cytokine production. Involved in immunoglobulin class switching. (261 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CD40
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 5 isoform X1.
   
 0.999
ICOS
Inducible T-cell costimulator isoform X1.
  
 
 0.990
CD4
T-cell surface glycoprotein CD4; Integral membrane glycoprotein that plays an essential role in the immune response and serves multiple functions in responses against both external and internal offenses. In T-cells, functions primarily as a coreceptor for MHC class II molecule:peptide complex. The antigens presented by class II peptides are derived from extracellular proteins while class I peptides are derived from cytosolic proteins. Interacts simultaneously with the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the MHC class II presented by antigen presenting cells (APCs). In turn, recruits the Src kina [...]
   
 0.887
CD80
T-lymphocyte activation antigen CD80 isoform X1.
   
 0.876
CD86
T-lymphocyte activation antigen CD86 isoform X1.
   
  
 0.875
IL4
Interleukin-4; Participates in at least several B-cell activation processes as well as of other cell types. It is a costimulator of DNA-synthesis. It induces the expression of class II MHC molecules on resting B-cells. It enhances both secretion and cell surface expression of IgE and IgG1. It also regulates the expression of the low affinity Fc receptor for IgE (CD23) on both lymphocytes and monocytes. Belongs to the IL-4/IL-13 family.
      
 0.839
LTBR
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 3.
   
 0.825
CTLA4
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte protein 4 isoform X1.
   
 
 0.800
IL2
Interleukin-2; Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes, lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells (By similarity); Belongs to the IL-2 family.
   
  
 0.798
CXCR5
C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
  
 0.791
