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

POU1F1Pituitary-specific positive transcription factor 1; Transcription factor involved in the specification of the lactotrope, somatotrope, and thyrotrope phenotypes in the developing anterior pituitary. Activates growth hormone and prolactin genes. Specifically binds to the consensus sequence 5'-TAAAT-3'. (317 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
PROP1
Homeobox protein prophet of Pit-1; Possibly involved in the ontogenesis of pituitary gonadotropes, as well as somatotropes, lactotropes and caudomedial thyrotropes.
   
 
 0.887
PRL
Prolactin; Prolactin acts primarily on the mammary gland by promoting lactation.
   
  
 0.770
TSHB
Thyrotropin subunit beta; Indispensable for the control of thyroid structure and metabolism.
   
  
 0.744
PITX1
Homeobox protein.
   
 
 0.673
LHX3
LIM/homeobox protein Lhx3; Required for the establishment of the specialized cells of the pituitary gland and the nervous system. Involved in the development of interneurons and motor neurons in cooperation with LDB1 and ISL1. Acts as a transcriptional activator. Binds to and activates the promoter of the alpha-glycoprotein gene, and synergistically enhances transcription from the prolactin promoter in cooperation with POU1F1/Pit-1 (By similarity).
   
 
 0.673
GHRHR
Growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor; Receptor for GRF, coupled to G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase. Stimulates somatotroph cell growth, growth hormone gene transcription and growth hormone secretion.
   
  
 0.657
FSHB
Follitropin subunit beta; Together with the alpha chain CGA constitutes follitropin, the follicle-stimulating hormone, and provides its biological specificity to the hormone heterodimer. Binds FSHR, a G protein-coupled receptor, on target cells to activate downstream signaling pathways. Follitropin is involved in follicle development and spermatogenesis in reproductive organs.
   
  
 0.637
LHX4
LIM homeobox 4.
   
 
 0.608
TBX19
T-box transcription factor TBX19.
   
 
 0.593
ARL11
ADP ribosylation factor like GTPase 11; Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Arf family.
   
  
 0.589
