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

RBP4Retinol-binding protein 4; Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane. (421 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TTR
Transthyretin; Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain.
   
 0.999
STRA6
Stimulated by retinoic acid 6.
     
 0.969
LOC100053030
5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase; Belongs to the transthyretin family. 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase subfamily.
   
 0.913
GC
GC vitamin D binding protein.
   
  
 0.814
ALB
Serum albumin; Serum albumin, the main protein of plasma, has a good binding capacity for water, Ca(2+), Na(+), K(+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin and drugs. Its main function is the regulation of the colloidal osmotic pressure of blood. Major zinc transporter in plasma, typically binds about 80% of all plasma zinc (By similarity). Major calcium and magnesium transporter in plasma, binds approximately 45% of circulating calcium and magnesium in plasma (By similarity). Potentially has more than two calcium-binding sites and might additionally bind calcium in a non-specific manner (B [...]

MRPL39
Mitochondrial ribosomal protein L39.
      
 0.718
LUZP4
Uncharacterized protein.
      
 0.675
AMBP
Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor; This inhibitory fragment, released from native ITI after limited proteolysis with trypsin, contains two homologous domains. Whereas the second domain is a strong inhibitor of trypsin, the first domain interacts weakly with PMN-granulocytic elastase and not at all with pancreatic elastase.
   
  
 0.671
RBP1
FABP domain-containing protein; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Fatty-acid binding protein (FABP) family.
   
 
 0.662
AHSG
Alpha 2-HS glycoprotein.
   
  
 0.642
