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

LCN9Epididymal-specific lipocalin-9; Lipocalin 9. (176 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.
   
  
 0.894
CST11
Cystatin-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.
   
  
 0.805
LCN6
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-6; May play a role in male fertility.
  
  
 0.787
LCN12
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-12; Binds all-trans retinoic acid and may act as a retinoid carrier protein within the epididymis. May play a role in male fertility (By similarity).
   
 
 0.786
LCN10
Epididymal-specific lipocalin-10; May play a role in male fertility. May act as a retinoid carrier protein within the epididymis.
   
  
 0.759
LCN1
Lipocalin-1; Could play a role in taste reception. Could be necessary for the concentration and delivery of sapid molecules in the gustatory system. Can bind various ligands, with chemical structures ranging from lipids and retinoids to the macrocyclic antibiotic rifampicin and even to microbial siderophores. Exhibits an extremely wide ligand pocket; Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
   
 
 0.727
LCN15
Lipocalin-15; Lipocalin 15.
   
 
0.682
TEDDM1
Transmembrane epididymal protein 1.
   
  
 0.639
GPX5
Epididymal secretory glutathione peroxidase; Protects cells and enzymes from oxidative damage, by catalyzing the reduction of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxides and organic hydroperoxide, by glutathione. May constitute a glutathione peroxidase-like protective system against peroxide damage in sperm membrane lipids.
   
  
 0.633
SPINT4
Serine peptidase inhibitor, Kunitz type 4.
   
  
 0.624
