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

HAMPHepcidin. (82 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SLC40A1
Solute carrier family 40 protein; May be involved in iron transport and iron homeostasis. Belongs to the ferroportin (FP) (TC 2.A.100) family. SLC40A subfamily.
    
 
 0.952
HFE
Homeostatic iron regulator; Belongs to the MHC class I family.
   
  
 0.935

Transferrin receptor 2.
      
 0.934
LCN2
Lipocalin 2; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.

IL6
Interleukin-6; Cytokine with a wide variety of biological functions. It is a potent inducer of the acute phase response. Plays an essential role in the final differentiation of B-cells into Ig-secreting cells Involved in lymphocyte and monocyte differentiation. Acts on B-cells, T-cells, hepatocytes, hematopoietic progenitor cells and cells of the CNS. Required for the generation of T(H)17 cells. Also acts as a myokine. It is discharged into the bloodstream after muscle contraction and acts to increase the breakdown of fats and to improve insulin resistance. It induces myeloma and plasm [...]
      
 0.725
TMPRSS6
Transmembrane serine protease 6; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
   
  
 0.682
KRTAP8-1
Keratin-associated protein 8-1; In the wool cortex, wool keratin intermediate filaments are embedded in an interfilamentous matrix, consisting of hair keratin- associated proteins (KRTAP), which are essential for the formation of a rigid and resistant wool shaft through their extensive disulfide bond cross-linking with abundant cysteine residues of wool keratins. The matrix proteins include the high-sulfur and high-glycine-tyrosine keratins.
   
    0.676
BMP6
Bone morphogenetic protein 6.
