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

DESDesmin; Muscle-specific type III intermediate filament essential for proper muscular structure and function. Plays a crucial role in maintaining the structure of sarcomeres, inter-connecting the Z-disks and forming the myofibrils, linking them not only to the sarcolemmal cytoskeleton, but also to the nucleus and mitochondria, thus providing strength for the muscle fiber during activity. In adult striated muscle they form a fibrous network connecting myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane from the periphery of the Z-line structures. May act as a sarcomeric microtubule-ancho [...] (470 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TCAP
Telethonin; Muscle assembly regulating factor. Mediates the antiparallel assembly of titin (TTN) molecules at the sarcomeric Z-disk (By similarity).
   
 
 0.823
VIM
Vimentin; Vimentins are class-III intermediate filaments found in various non-epithelial cells, especially mesenchymal cells. Vimentin is attached to the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, and mitochondria, either laterally or terminally.
  
 
 
0.808
PCYT1A
Phosphate cytidylyltransferase 1, choline, alpha.
   
   0.798
GAN
Gigaxonin.
    
 
 0.774
CRIPT
Cysteine-rich PDZ-binding protein; Involved in the cytoskeletal anchoring of DLG4 in excitatory synapses.
      
 0.741
EAPP
E2F-associated phosphoprotein.
      
 0.689
BOLA-DYA
Major histocompatibility complex, class II, DY alpha; Belongs to the MHC class II family.
    
 
 0.671
TPM2
Tropomyosin beta chain; Binds to actin filaments in muscle and non-muscle cells. Plays a central role, in association with the troponin complex, in the calcium dependent regulation of vertebrate striated muscle contraction. Smooth muscle contraction is regulated by interaction with caldesmon. In non-muscle cells is implicated in stabilizing cytoskeleton actin filaments. The non-muscle isoform may have a role in agonist-mediated receptor internalization; Belongs to the tropomyosin family.
   
 
  0.631
NSF
N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor, vesicle fusing ATPase.
    
 
 0.625
MYBPC2
Myosin binding protein C, fast type.
   
 0.609
