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

EPCAMEpithelial cell adhesion molecule; May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Plays a role in embryonic stem cells proliferation and differentiation. Up-regulates the expression of FABP5, MYC and cyclins A and E (By similarity). Belongs to the EPCAM family. (314 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CLDN7
Claudin-7; Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space; Belongs to the claudin family.
   
 
 0.949
CD44
CD44 antigen.
      
 0.909
CD24-2
MGC127538 protein.
   
  
 0.906
CD24
Uncharacterized protein.
   
  
 0.902
KRT19
Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 19; Involved in the organization of myofibers. Together with KRT8, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle (By similarity); Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
  
 0.869
CDH1
Cadherin-1; Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. CDH1 is involved in mechanisms regulating cell-cell adhesions, mobility and proliferation of epithelial cells. Has a potent invasive suppressor role. It is a ligand for integrin alpha-E/beta-7.

KRT8
Keratin, type II cytoskeletal 8; Together with KRT19, helps to link the contractile apparatus to dystrophin at the costameres of striated muscle; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
  
 0.823
EGFR
Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase.
   
  
 0.804
MUC1
Mucin-1 subunit alpha; The alpha subunit has cell adhesive properties. May provide a protective layer on epithelial cells against bacterial and enzyme attack (By similarity).
   
  
 0.799
PECAM1
Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule; Cell adhesion molecule which is required for leukocyte transendothelial migration (TEM) under most inflammatory conditions. Tyr-689 plays a critical role in TEM and is required for efficient trafficking of PECAM1 to and from the lateral border recycling compartment (LBRC) and is also essential for the LBRC membrane to be targeted around migrating leukocytes. Trans-homophilic interaction may play a role in endothelial cell-cell adhesion via cell junctions. Heterophilic interaction with CD177 plays a role in transendothelial migration of neutr [...]
