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

CRYBB1Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family. (136 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ITSN2
Intersectin 2.
   
 0.808
G3U095_LOXAF
Uncharacterized protein.
   
 0.808
BFSP2
Beaded filament structural protein 2; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
    
 0.728
ITSN1
Intersectin 1.
    
 0.692
CRYAA
Alpha-crystallin A chain; Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA; Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
   
  
 0.654
GJA3
Gap junction protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
   
  
 0.622
GJA8
Gap junction protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
   
  
 0.619
CRYBA1
Crystallin beta A1; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family.
  
 
0.589
LIM2
Lens fiber membrane intrinsic protein; Present in the thicker 16-17 nm junctions of mammalian lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. Acts as a receptor for calmodulin. May play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis; Belongs to the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family.
   
 0.582
BFSP1
Beaded filament structural protein 1; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
  
 0.577
