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

CXCL8Interleukin-8; IL-8 is a chemotactic factor that attracts neutrophils, basophils, and T-cells, but not monocytes. It is also involved in neutrophil activation. It is released from several cell types in response to an inflammatory stimulus (By similarity). (101 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CXCL6
C-X-C motif chemokine 6; Chemotactic for neutrophil granulocytes. Signals through binding and activation of its receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2). In addition to its chemotactic and angiogenic properties, it has strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (90-fold-higher when compared to CXCL5 and CXCL7) (By similarity). Belongs to the intercrine alpha (chemokine CxC) family.
   
 
0.981
CXCR2
G_PROTEIN_RECEP_F1_2 domain-containing protein; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
 
 0.968
IL1B
Interleukin-1 beta; Potent proinflammatory cytokine. Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B- cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production. Promotes Th17 differentiation of T-cells. Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T- helper 1 (Th1) cells.
   
  
 0.955
LOC100058291
G_PROTEIN_RECEP_F1_2 domain-containing protein; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
 
 0.954
CXCL1
C-X-C motif chemokine.
  
 
0.941
NFKB1
Nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1.
   
 
 0.938
LOC111768185
Multifunctional fusion protein; Potent proinflammatory cytokine. Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B- cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production; Belongs to the IL-1 family.
   
  
 0.930
ACKR1
Atypical chemokine receptor 1.
   
 
 0.919
JUN
Jun proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit; Belongs to the bZIP family.
   
 
 0.916
RELA
RELA proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit.
   
 
 0.903
