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

IL2RAInterleukin-2 receptor subunit alpha; Receptor for interleukin-2. The receptor is involved in the regulation of immune tolerance by controlling regulatory T cells (TREGs) activity. TREGs suppress the activation and expansion of autoreactive T-cells. (285 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
JAK1
Tyrosine-protein kinase.
   
 
 0.992
IL2RG
Fibronectin type-III domain-containing protein.
   
 0.987
IL2
Interleukin-2; Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes, lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells; Belongs to the IL-2 family.

IL2RB
Interleukin 2 receptor subunit beta.
   
 0.976
JAK3
Tyrosine-protein kinase.
   
 
 0.970
IL7R
Interleukin 7 receptor.
   
 
 0.960
IL6R
Interleukin 6 receptor.
  
 
 0.954
STAT5B
Signal transducer and activator of transcription.
   
 0.954
IFNAR2
Interferon alpha/beta receptor 2; Associates with IFNAR1 to form the type I interferon receptor. Receptor for interferons alpha and beta. Involved in IFN- mediated STAT1, STAT2 and STAT3 activation. Mediates signal transduction via its association with the TYR kinase, JAK1.

IL4R
Interleukin 4 receptor.
