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

PTNPleiotrophin; Secreted growth factor that mediates its signal through cell- surface proteoglycan and non-proteoglycan receptors. Binds cell-surface proteoglycan receptor via their chondroitin sulfate (CS) groups. Thereby regulates many processes like cell proliferation, cell survival, cell growth, cell differentiation and cell migration in several tissues namely neuron and bone (By similarity). Also plays a role in synaptic plasticity and learning- related behavior by inhibiting long-term synaptic potentiation (By similarity). Binds PTPRZ1, leading to neutralization of the negative ch [...] (182 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
ALK
Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor.
    
 0.992
PTPRZ1
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type Z1.
   
 0.944
HDGF
Hepatoma-derived growth factor; Acts as a transcriptional repressor (By similarity). Has mitogenic activity for fibroblasts (By similarity). Heparin-binding protein (By similarity).
   
  
 0.847
SDC3
Syndecan; Cell surface proteoglycan; Belongs to the syndecan proteoglycan family.
    
 
 0.841
MDK
Midkine.
    
0.722
PTPRB
Protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type B.
   
 
 0.688
FGF2
Kidney-derived growth factor; Acts as a ligand for FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Also acts as an integrin ligand which is required for FGF2 signaling. Binds to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3. Plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, cell differentiation and cell migration. Functions as a potent mitogen in vitro. Can induce angiogenesis. Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
   
  
 0.675
GJA1
Gap junction alpha-1 protein; Gap junction protein that acts as a regulator of bladder capacity. A 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. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph. Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli a [...]
   
  
 0.655
FMOD
Fibromodulin; Affects the rate of fibrils formation. May have a primary role in collagen fibrillogenesis (By similarity); Belongs to the small leucine-rich proteoglycan (SLRP) family. SLRP class II subfamily.
   
 
 0.643
GDNF
Glial cell derived neurotrophic factor.
      
 0.631
