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

VAPBVesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein B; Participates in the endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response (UPR) by inducing ERN1/IRE1 activity. Involved in cellular calcium homeostasis regulation. (243 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
STARD3
StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3.
    
 0.978
ATF6
Activating transcription factor 6.
     
 0.932
OSBP
Oxysterol-binding protein; Belongs to the OSBP family.
    
 0.924
VAPA
Vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A; Binds to OSBPL3, which mediates recruitment of VAPA to plasma membrane sites. The ORP3-VAPA complex stimulates RRAS signaling which in turn attenuates integrin beta-1 (ITGB1) activation at the cell surface. With OSBPL3, may regulate ER morphology. May play a role in vesicle trafficking.
  
0.854
ACBD5
Acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing protein 5; Acyl-CoA binding protein which acts as the peroxisome receptor for pexophagy but is dispensable for aggrephagy and nonselective autophagy. Binds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters (By similarity); Belongs to the ATG37 family.
   
 
 0.849
ACBD4
Acyl-CoA-binding domain-containing protein 4; Binds medium- and long-chain acyl-CoA esters and may function as an intracellular carrier of acyl-CoA esters.
    
 
 0.841
CERT1
Ceramide transfer protein; Shelters ceramides and diacylglycerol lipids inside its START domain and mediates the intracellular trafficking of ceramides and diacylglycerol lipids in a non-vesicular manner.
   
 0.827
ZFYVE27
Protrudin; Key regulator of RAB11-dependent vesicular trafficking during neurite extension through polarized membrane transport. Promotes axonal elongation and contributes to the establishment of neuronal cell polarity. Involved in nerve growth factor-induced neurite formation in VAPA-dependent manner. Contributes to both the formation and stabilization of the tubular ER network. Involved in ER morphogenesis by regulating the sheet-to-tubule balance and possibly the density of tubule interconnections. Acts as an adapter protein that facilitates the interaction of KIF5A with VAPA, VAPB, [...]
    
 
 0.824
RMDN3
Regulator of microtubule dynamics protein 3; Involved in cellular calcium homeostasis regulation (By similarity). May participate in differentiation and apoptosis of keratinocytes. Overexpression induces apoptosis (By similarity). Belongs to the RMDN family.
    
 
 0.795
SETX
Senataxin.
   
  
 0.776
