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

RBP4Retinol-binding protein 4; Retinol-binding protein that mediates retinol transport in blood plasma. Delivers retinol from the liver stores to the peripheral tissues. Transfers the bound all-trans retinol to STRA6, that then facilitates retinol transport across the cell membrane. (458 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TTR
Transthyretin; Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain (By similarity). Belongs to the transthyretin family.
   
 0.995
G1TFX3_RABIT
5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase; Belongs to the transthyretin family. 5-hydroxyisourate hydrolase subfamily.
   
 0.956
STRA6
Stimulated by retinoic acid 6.
     
 0.946
GC
Vitamin D-binding protein; Involved in vitamin D transport and storage, scavenging of extracellular G-actin, enhancement of the chemotactic activity of C5 alpha for neutrophils in inflammation and macrophage activation.
   
  
 0.673
AHSG
Alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein; A cell adhesion protein that binds immature cells of the granulocyte lineage; Belongs to the fetuin family.
   
  
 0.671
NMNAT3
CTP_transf_like domain-containing protein.
   
 
 0.667
CRP
C-reactive protein; Displays several functions associated with host defense: it promotes agglutination, bacterial capsular swelling, phagocytosis and complement fixation through its calcium-dependent binding to phosphorylcholine. Can interact with DNA and histones and may scavenge nuclear material released from damaged circulating cells (By similarity).
   
  
 0.645
ADIPOQ
C1q domain-containing protein.
   
  
 0.639
APOA1
Truncated apolipoprotein A-I; Participates in the reverse transport of cholesterol from tissues to the liver for excretion by promoting cholesterol efflux from tissues and by acting as a cofactor for the lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). As part of the SPAP complex, activates spermatozoa motility.
   
 
 0.611
RETN
Resistin.
      
 0.609
