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

CRYBA4Crystallin beta A4; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family. (221 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
  
   
 0.682
GRIFIN
Galectin.
      
 0.651
LGSN
Lengsin, lens protein with glutamine synthetase domain; Belongs to the glutamine synthetase family.
      
 0.649
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.
   
 
 0.626
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.
      
 0.573
BFSP2
Beaded filament structural protein 2; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
      
 0.571
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.
   
  
 0.539
CRYAB
Alpha-crystallin B chain; May contribute 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.
   
 
 0.527
TMEM114
Transmembrane protein 114.
      
 0.515
PITX3
Homeobox protein.
      
 0.515
