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

TYRP15,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid oxidase; Plays a role in melanin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the oxidation of 5,6-dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA) into indole-5,6- quinone-2-carboxylic acid. May regulate or influence the type of melanin synthesized. Also to a lower extent, capable of hydroxylating tyrosine and producing melanin. (537 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
OCA2
OCA2 melanosomal transmembrane protein.
      
 0.951
SLC45A2
Solute carrier family 45 member 2.
   
 
 0.944
DCT
L-dopachrome tautomerase; Catalyzes the conversion of L-dopachrome into 5,6- dihydroxyindole-2-carboxylic acid (DHICA). Involved in regulating eumelanin and phaeomelanin levels.
  
  
0.917
MITF
Melanocyte inducing transcription factor.
   
 
 0.910
MC1R
Melanocyte-stimulating hormone receptor; Receptor for MSH (alpha, beta) and ACTH. Does not seem to be active with gamma-MSH. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. Could be involved in spermatogenesis; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
   
 
 0.907
RAB38
RAB38, member RAS oncogene family.
   
  
 0.882
ASIP
Agouti-signaling protein; Involved in the regulation of melanogenesis. The binding of ASP to MC1R precludes alpha-MSH initiated signaling and thus blocks production of cAMP, leading to a down-regulation of eumelanogenesis (brown/black pigment) and thus increasing synthesis of pheomelanin (yellow/red pigment) (By similarity).
      
 0.850
GPNMB
Glycoprotein (Transmembrane) nmb.
      
 0.817
SLC24A5
Solute carrier family 24 member 5; Belongs to the Ca(2+):cation antiporter (CaCA) (TC 2.A.19) family.
   
  
 0.816
MLANA
Melan-A.
   
  
 0.810
