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

MIPLens 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. (263 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
BFSP1
Beaded filament structural protein 1; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
   
  
 0.892
CRYGS
Gamma-crystallin S; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
   
 
 0.819
AQP10
Aquaporin 10; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family.
  
  
 0.805
LIM2
Lens fiber membrane intrinsic protein; Present in the thicker 16-17 nm junctions of mammalian lens fiber cells, where it may contribute to cell junctional organization. Acts as a receptor for calmodulin. May play an important role in both lens development and cataractogenesis; Belongs to the PMP-22/EMP/MP20 family.
   
 
 0.801
LGSN
Lengsin; May act as a component of the cytoskeleton or as a chaperone for the reorganization of intermediate filament proteins during terminal differentiation in the lens. Does not seem to have enzymatic activity (By similarity); Belongs to the glutamine synthetase family.
   
  
 0.756
SPRYD4
SPRY domain containing 4.
   
  
 0.727
BFSP2
Beaded filament structural protein 2.
   
 
 0.725
GLS2
Glutaminase 2.
   
  
 0.685
AQP11
Aquaporin; Aquaporins facilitate the transport of water and small neutral solutes across cell membranes.
     
 0.682
CRYAA
Alpha-crystallin A chain; Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions. Required for the correct formation of lens intermediate filaments as part of a complex composed of BFSP1, BFSP2 and CRYAA.
