"GJA8" - Gap junction alpha-8 protein in Homo sapiens
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:
some 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 each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

GJA8Gap junction alpha-8 protein; One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell (433 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
CRYA1
Alpha-crystallin A chain; Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions; Small heat shock proteins (173 aa)
     
   
  0.835
MIP
Lens fiber major intrinsic protein; Water channel. Channel activity is down-regulated by CALM when cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels are increased. May be responsible for regulating the osmolarity of the lens. Interactions between homotetramers from adjoining membranes may stabilize cell junctions in the eye lens core (By similarity). Plays a role in cell-to-cell adhesion and facilitates gap junction coupling; Belongs to the MIP/aquaporin (TC 1.A.8) family (263 aa)
     
 
  0.832
HSPB4
Crystallin, alpha A; Contributes to the transparency and refractive index of the lens. Has chaperone-like activity, preventing aggregation of various proteins under a wide range of stress conditions; Small heat shock proteins (173 aa)
     
   
  0.832
CRYBB2
Beta-crystallin B2; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family (205 aa)
     
   
  0.814
CRYBB1
Beta-crystallin B1; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens; Belongs to the beta/gamma-crystallin family (252 aa)
     
   
  0.813
GJE1
Putative gap junction epsilon-1 protein; Mediates calcium-independent ATP release, suggesting activity as a hemichannel. Does not form functional gap junctions; Belongs to the connexin family. Beta-type (group I) subfamily (205 aa)
     
 
  0.802
TJP1
Tight junction protein ZO-1; The N-terminal may be involved in transducing a signal required for tight junction assembly, while the C-terminal may have specific properties of tight junctions. The alpha domain might be involved in stabilizing junctions. Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by targeting CDC42BPB to the leading edge of migrating cells; Belongs to the MAGUK family (1748 aa)
       
 
  0.795
CRYBA1
Beta-crystallin A3; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens (215 aa)
     
   
  0.775
BFSP2
Phakinin; Involved in stabilization of lens fiber cell cytoskeleton; Belongs to the intermediate filament family (415 aa)
     
   
  0.762
CRYGD
Gamma-crystallin D; Crystallins are the dominant structural components of the vertebrate eye lens (174 aa)
     
   
  0.760
