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

BHLHA9Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 9; Transcription factor, which play a role in limb development. Is an essential player in the regulatory network governing transcription of genes implicated in limb morphogenesis. (235 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
TRARG1
Trafficking regulator of GLUT4 1; Regulates insulin-mediated adipose tissue glucose uptake and transport by modulation of SLC2A4 recycling. Not required for SLC2A4 membrane fusion upon an initial stimulus, but rather is necessary for proper protein recycling during prolonged insulin stimulation.
      
 0.920
PITPNA
Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein alpha isoform; Catalyzes the transfer of PtdIns and phosphatidylcholine between membranes.
      
 0.834
YWHAE
14-3-3 protein epsilon; Adapter protein implicated in the regulation of a large spectrum of both general and specialized signaling pathways. Binds to a large number of partners, usually by recognition of a phosphoserine or phosphothreonine motif. Binding generally results in the modulation of the activity of the binding partner (By similarity). Positively regulates phosphorylated protein HSF1 nuclear export to the cytoplasm.
      
 0.807
TIMM22
Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit Tim22; Essential core component of the TIM22 complex, a complex that mediates the import and insertion of multi-pass transmembrane proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. In the TIM22 complex, it constitutes the voltage-activated and signal-gated channel. Forms a twin-pore translocase that uses the membrane potential as external driving force in 2 voltage-dependent steps (By similarity). Belongs to the Tim17/Tim22/Tim23 family.
      
 0.770
SCARF1
Scavenger receptor class F member 1; Mediates the binding and degradation of acetylated low density lipoprotein (Ac-LDL). Mediates heterophilic interactions, suggesting a function as adhesion protein. Plays a role in the regulation of neurite-like outgrowth (By similarity).
      
 0.759
PAFAH1B1
Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase IB subunit alpha; Required for proper activation of Rho GTPases and actin polymerization at the leading edge of locomoting cerebellar neurons and postmigratory hippocampal neurons in response to calcium influx triggered via NMDA receptors. Non-catalytic subunit of an acetylhydrolase complex which inactivates platelet-activating factor (PAF) by removing the acetyl group at the SN-2 position (By similarity). Positively regulates the activity of the minus-end directed microtubule motor protein dynein. May enhance dynein-mediated microtubule slidi [...]
      
 0.757
CRK
Adapter molecule crk; [Isoform Crk-II]: Regulates cell adhesion, spreading and migration. Mediates attachment-induced MAPK8 activation, membrane ruffling and cell motility in a Rac-dependent manner. Involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cell motility via its interaction with DOCK1 and DOCK4. May regulate the EFNA5-EPHA3 signaling.
      
 0.646
C4orf46
Renal cancer differentiation gene 1 protein; Chromosome 4 open reading frame 46.
      
 0.587
RD3L
Protein RD3-like; Retinal degeneration 3 like.
      
 0.573
ASCL5
Achaete-scute homolog 5; Achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 5.
      
 0.532
