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

AQP9Aquaporin 9; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family. (295 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
AQP11
Aquaporin; Aquaporins facilitate the transport of water and small neutral solutes across cell membranes.
     
 0.946
LCN8
Lipocalin 8; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
      
 0.797
MIP
Lens fiber major intrinsic protein; Water channel. Channel activity is down-regulated by CALM when cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels are increased. May be responsible for regulating the osmolarity of the lens. Interactions between homotetramers from adjoining membranes may stabilize cell junctions in the eye lens core. Plays a role in cell-to-cell adhesion and facilitates gap junction coupling (By similarity). Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.770
AQP8
Aquaporin 8; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.764
AQP4
Aquaporin-4 M1 isoform; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.757
AQP7
Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.724
AQP10
Aquaporin 10; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.687
AQP5
Aquaporin-5; Forms a water-specific channel (By similarity). Plays an important role in fluid secretion in salivary glands. Required for TRPV4 activation by hypotonicity. Together with TRPV4, controls regulatory volume decrease in salivary epithelial cells. Seems to play a redundant role in water transport in the eye, lung and in sweat glands (By similarity); Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.669
AQP6
Aquaporin 6; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
0.668
AQP2
Aquaporin-2; Forms a water-specific channel that provides the plasma membranes of renal collecting duct with high permeability to water, thereby permitting water to move in the direction of an osmotic gradient.
