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

CRYBB2Beta-crystallin B2; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens. (229 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
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.
   
 
 0.955
CRYAB
Alpha-crystallin B chain; May contribute 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; Belongs to the small heat shock protein (HSP20) family.
   
 
 0.870
GJA3
Gap junction protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
  
  
 0.866
GJA8
Gap junction protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
      
 0.865
BFSP2
Beaded filament structural protein 2.
   
  
 0.807
BFSP1
Beaded filament structural protein 1; Belongs to the intermediate filament family.
      
 0.778
PITX3
Homeobox protein.
   
  
 0.676
CRYGS
Gamma-crystallin S; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens.
   
 
0.621
FBXL7
F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 7.
      
 0.581
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.
