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

SLC39A2Zinc transporter ZIP2; Mediates zinc uptake. Zinc uptake may be mediated by a Zn(2+)-HCO(3)(-) symport mechanism and can function in the presence of albumin. May also transport other divalent cations. May be important in contact inhibition of normal epithelial cells and loss of its expression may play a role in tumorigenesis. (309 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
SLC39A11
Zinc transporter ZIP11; Functions as a cellular zinc transporter.
   
 
 0.751
SLC39A4
Zinc transporter ZIP4; Plays an important role in cellular zinc homeostasis as a zinc transporter. Regulated in response to zinc availability (By similarity).
   
 
 0.735
SLC39A9
Zinc transporter ZIP9; May act as a zinc-influx transporter.
    
 
 0.731
SLC39A12
Zinc transporter ZIP12; Acts as a zinc-influx transporter (Potential). May be partly involved in the outbreak of schizophrenia; Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
   
 
 0.727
SLC39A7
Zinc transporter SLC39A7; Zinc transporter, that transports Zn(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum/Golgi apparatus to the cytosol. Transport is stimulated by growth factors, such as EGF, and Ca(2+), as well as by exogenous Zn(2+); Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family. KE4/Catsup subfamily.
   
 
 0.705
SLC39A5
Zinc transporter ZIP5; May play a role in polarized cells by carrying out serosal- to-mucosal zinc transport. Plays a role in eye development. Could regulate the BMP/TGF-beta (bone morphogenetic protein/transforming growth factor-beta) signaling pathway and modulates extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins of the sclera. Seems to play a central role in controlling organismal zinc status (By similarity).
   
 
 0.687
SLC39A13
Zinc transporter ZIP13; Acts as a zinc-influx transporter. Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
   
 
 0.686
SLC30A6
Zinc transporter 6; Zinc-efflux transporter which allocates the cytoplasmic zinc to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) as well as the vesicular compartment. Belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter (TC 2.A.4) family. SLC30A subfamily.
   
 
 0.663
SLC30A1
Zinc transporter 1; May be involved in zinc transport out of the cell; Belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) transporter (TC 2.A.4) family. SLC30A subfamily.
   
 
 0.661
SLC39A6
Zinc transporter ZIP6; May act as a zinc-influx transporter. Belongs to the ZIP transporter (TC 2.A.5) family.
