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

CST11Cystatin-11; Has antibacterial activity against the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli. May play a role in sperm maturation and fertilization. Belongs to the cystatin family. (138 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
LCN8
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-8; May play a role in male fertility. May act as a retinoid carrier protein within the epididymis.

TECR
Very-long-chain enoyl-CoA reductase; Involved in both the production of very long-chain fatty acids for sphingolipid synthesis and the degradation of the sphingosine moiety in sphingolipids through the sphingosine 1-phosphate metabolic pathway. Catalyzes the last of the four reactions of the long-chain fatty acids elongation cycle. This endoplasmic reticulum-bound enzymatic process, allows the addition of 2 carbons to the chain of long- and very long-chain fatty acids/VLCFAs per cycle. This enzyme reduces the trans-2,3-enoyl- CoA fatty acid intermediate to an acyl-CoA that can be furth [...]

DEFB119
Defensin beta 119.
   
  
 0.544
LCN6
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-6; May play a role in male fertility.

CST9L
Cystatin-9-like; Cystatin 9 like; Belongs to the cystatin family.
   
  
0.518
RNASE10
Inactive ribonuclease-like protein 10; Secreted proximal epididymal protein required for post- testicular sperm maturation and male fertility. May be involved in sperm adhesion to the egg zona pellucida. Does not have ribonuclease activity (By similarity).
