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

MFGE8Lactadherin; Contributes to phagocytic removal of apoptotic cells in many tissues. Plays an important role in the maintenance of intestinal epithelial homeostasis and the promotion of mucosal healing. Promotes VEGF-dependent neovascularization (By similarity). Specific ligand for the alpha-v/beta-3 and alpha-v/beta-5 receptors. Also binds to phosphatidylserine-enriched cell surfaces in a receptor-independent manner. Zona pellucida-binding protein which may play a role in gamete interaction. (431 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
LTF
Lactotransferrin; Transferrins are iron binding transport proteins which can bind two Fe(3+) ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate. Lactoferricin B is an antimicrobial peptide. Inhibits the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.
   
 
 0.773
XDH
Xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase; Key enzyme in purine degradation. Catalyzes the oxidation of hypoxanthine to xanthine. Catalyzes the oxidation of xanthine to uric acid. Contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen species.
   
  
 0.730
BTN1A1
Butyrophilin subfamily 1 member A1; May function in the secretion of milk-fat droplets. May act as a specific membrane-associated receptor for the association of cytoplasmic droplets with the apical plasma membrane. Inhibits the proliferation of CD4 and CD8 T-cells activated by anti-CD3 antibodies, T-cell metabolism and IL2 and IFNG secretion (By similarity). Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. BTN/MOG family.
   
 
 0.726
LALBA
Alpha-lactalbumin; Regulatory subunit of lactose synthase, changes the substrate specificity of galactosyltransferase in the mammary gland making glucose a good acceptor substrate for this enzyme. This enables LS to synthesize lactose, the major carbohydrate component of milk. In other tissues, galactosyltransferase transfers galactose onto the N- acetylglucosamine of the oligosaccharide chains in glycoproteins; Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 22 family.
   
  
 0.689
PLIN2
Perilipin-2; May be involved in development and maintenance of adipose tissue; Belongs to the perilipin family.
   
 
 0.684
PAEP
Beta-lactoglobulin; Primary component of whey, it binds retinol and is probably involved in the transport of that molecule; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
 
 0.678
HEPH
Hephaestin; Belongs to the multicopper oxidase family.
 
  
 
 0.661
CD81
CD81 antigen; Structural component of specialized membrane microdomains known as tetraspanin-enriched microdomains (TERMs), which act as platforms for receptor clustering and signaling. Essential for trafficking and compartmentalization of CD19 receptor on the surface of activated B cells. Upon initial encounter with microbial pathogens, enables the assembly of CD19-CR2/CD21 and B cell receptor (BCR) complexes at signaling TERMs, lowering the threshold dose of antigen required to trigger B cell clonal expansion and antibody production. In T cells, facilitates the localization of CD247/ [...]

FAU
Ubiquitin-like protein FUBI.
   
   0.645
SND1
Staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing protein 1; Endonuclease that mediates miRNA decay of both protein-free and AGO2-loaded miRNAs (By similarity). As part of its function in miRNA decay, regulates mRNAs involved in G1-to-S phase transition (By similarity). Functions as a bridging factor between STAT6 and the basal transcription factor (By similarity). Plays a role in PIM1 regulation of MYB activity (By similarity). Functions as a transcriptional coactivator for STAT5 (By similarity).
