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

FAR2Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 2; Catalyzes the reduction of saturated but not unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. A lower activity can be observed with shorter fatty acyl-CoA substrates. It may play a role in the production of ether lipids/plasmalogens and wax monoesters which synthesis requires fatty alcohols as substrates (By similarity). (515 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
FAR1
Fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1; Catalyzes the reduction of saturated and unsaturated C16 or C18 fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. It plays an essential role in the production of ether lipids/plasmalogens which synthesis requires fatty alcohols. In parallel, it is also required for wax monoesters production since fatty alcohols also constitute a substrate for their synthesis (By similarity).
  
 
0.906
GNPAT
Glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase.
 
    
 0.870
AGPS
Alkyldihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase, peroxisomal; Catalyzes the exchange of the acyl chain in acyl- dihydroxyacetonephosphate (acyl-DHAP) for a long chain fatty alcohol, yielding the first ether linked intermediate, i.e. alkyl- dihydroxyacetonephosphate (alkyl-DHAP), in the pathway of ether lipid biosynthesis; Belongs to the FAD-binding oxidoreductase/transferase type 4 family.
  
  
 0.728
FASN
3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] dehydratase; Fatty acid synthetase catalyzes the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA, malonyl-CoA and NADPH. This multifunctional protein has 7 catalytic activities as an acyl carrier protein.
  
 
 0.710
IQCF1
IQ domain-containing protein F1; Involved in sperm capacitation and acrosome reaction.
    
   0.601
ECI2
Enoyl-CoA delta isomerase 2, mitochondrial; Able to isomerize both 3-cis and 3-trans double bonds into the 2-trans form in a range of enoyl-CoA species. Has a preference for 3-trans substrates (By similarity).
  
  
 0.515
HACL1
2-hydroxyacyl-CoA lyase 1; Catalyzes a carbon-carbon cleavage reaction; cleaves a 2- hydroxy-3-methylacyl-CoA into formyl-CoA and a 2-methyl-branched fatty aldehyde; Belongs to the TPP enzyme family.
      
 0.486
SOAT1
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1; Catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol. Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to its acyltransferase activity, it may act as a ligase.
   
  
 0.481
AASDH
Beta-alanine-activating enzyme; Covalently binds beta-alanine in an ATP-dependent manner to form a thioester bond with its phosphopantetheine group and transfers it to an, as yet, unknown acceptor. May be required for a post- translational protein modification or for post-transcriptional modification of an RNA.
  
  
 0.479
PEX7
Peroxisomal targeting signal 2 receptor; Binds to the N-terminal PTS2-type peroxisomal targeting signal and plays an essential role in peroxisomal protein import. Belongs to the WD repeat peroxin-7 family.
