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

STPG2Sperm-tail PG-rich repeat-containing protein 2; Sperm tail PG-rich repeat containing 2. (459 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
WDPCP
WD repeat-containing and planar cell polarity effector protein fritz homolog; Probable effector of the planar cell polarity signaling pathway which regulates the septin cytoskeleton in both ciliogenesis and collective cell movements. Together with FUZ and WDPCP proposed to function as core component of the CPLANE (ciliogenesis and planar polarity effectors) complex involved in the recruitment of peripheral IFT-A proteins to basal bodies (By similarity).

SPAG8
Sperm-associated antigen 8; Plays a role in spermatogenesis by enhancing the binding of CREM isoform tau to its coactivator FHL5 and increasing the FHL5- regulated transcriptional activation of CREM isoform tau (By similarity). Involved in the acrosome reaction and in binding of sperm to the zona pellucida (By similarity). Plays a role in regulation of the cell cycle by controlling progression through the G2/M phase, possibly by delaying the activation of CDK1 which is required for entry into mitosis. May play a role in fertility and microtubule formation through interaction with RANBP9.

M1AP
Meiosis 1 arrest protein; Required for meiosis I progression during spermatogenesis.
   
  
 0.582
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.
  
 0.557
EFCAB10
EF-hand calcium-binding domain-containing protein 10; EF-hand calcium binding domain 10.
      
 0.556
HSDL2
Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase-like protein 2; Has apparently no steroid dehydrogenase activity. Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
  
 0.536
METAP1
Methionine aminopeptidase 1; Cotranslationally removes the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins. The N-terminal methionine is often cleaved when the second residue in the primary sequence is small and uncharged (Met- Ala-, Cys, Gly, Pro, Ser, Thr, or Val). Required for normal progression through the cell cycle.
   
  
 0.531
RAP1GDS1
Rap1 GTPase-GDP dissociation stimulator 1; Stimulates GDP/GTP exchange reaction of a group of small GTP- binding proteins (G proteins) including Rap1a/Rap1b, RhoA, RhoB and KRas, by stimulating the dissociation of GDP from and the subsequent binding of GTP to each small G protein.
   
  
 0.507
DEFB125
Beta-defensin 125; Has antibacterial activity; Belongs to the beta-defensin family.
   
  
 0.505
NYX
Nyctalopin.
