Lists of genes involved in the PPI network.

Gene Function of the Encoding Proteins
OXTR Receptor for oxytocin associated with social recognition and emotion processing
MTHFR Influences susceptibility to neural tube defect by changing folate metabolism
RELN Control cell positioning and neural migration during brain development
DRD3 D3 subtype of the five dopamine receptors; localized to the limbic areas of the brain
MNT Protein member of the Myc/Max/Mad network; transcriptional repressor and an antagonist of Myc-dependent transcriptional activation and cell growth
OPCML Member of the IgLON subfamily in the immunoglobulin protein superfamily of proteins; localized in the plasma membrane; accessory role in opioid receptor function
PC Pyruvate carboxylase; gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, insulin secretion and synthesis of neurotransmitter glutamate
ERBB4 Tyr protein kinase family and the epidermal growth factor receptor subfamily; binds to and is activated by neuregulins, and induces mitogenesis and differentiation
OR2M4 Members of a large family of GPCR; olfactory receptors initiating a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell
BCAS1 Oncogene; highly expressed in three amplified breast cancer cell lines and in one breast tumor without amplification at 20q13.2.
CYP24A1 Cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes; drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids
TMEM132B The function remains poorly understood despite their mutations associated with non-syndromic hearing loss, panic disorder, and cancer
KRR1 Nucleolar protein; 18S rRNA synthesis and 40S ribosomal assembly
HAT1 Type B histone acetyltransferase; rapid acetylation of newly synthesized cytoplasmic histones; replication-dependent chromatin assembly
SGSM2 GTPase activator; regulators of membrane trafficking
EXT1 Endoplasmic reticulum-resident type II transmembrane glycosyltransferase; involved in the chain elongation step of heparan sulfate biosynthesis
OR2T33 Members of a large family of GPCR; share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors
TAF1C Binds to the core promoter of ribosomal RNA genes to position the polymerase properly; acts as a channel for regulatory signals
HDAC4 Class II of the histone deacetylase/acuc/apha family; represses transcription when tethered to a promoter
MEGF10 Member of the multiple epidermal growth factor-like domains protein family; cell adhesion, motility and proliferation; critical mediator of apoptotic cell phagocytosis; amyloid-beta peptide uptake in brain
NFKB2 Subunit of the transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa-B; central activator of genes involved in inflammation and immune function
BNC2 Conserved zinc finger protein; skin color saturation
NMB Member of the bombesin-like family of neuropeptides; negatively regulate eating behavior; regulate colonic smooth muscle contraction
HPS6 Organelle biogenesis associated with melanosomes, platelet dense granules, and lysosomes
ELOVL3 GNS1/SUR4 family; elongation of long chain fatty acids to provide precursors for synthesis of sphingolipids and ceramides
PITX3 Member of the RIEG/PITX homeobox family; transcription factors; lens formation during eye development
NAALADL2 Not well-known, but diseases associated with NAALADL2 include Chromosome 6Pter-P24 Deletion Syndrome and Cornelia De Lange Syndrome.
MACROD2 Deacetylase removing ADP-ribose from mono-ADP-ribosylated proteins; translocate from the nucleus to the cytoplasm upon DNA damage
CUEDC2 CUE domain-containing protein; down-regulate ESR1 protein levels through progesterone-induced and degradation of receptors
FBXL15 Substrate recognition component of SCF E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex; mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of SMURF1
EXOC4 Component of the exocyst complex; targeting exocytic vesicles to specific docking sites on the plasma membrane
NOLC1 Nucleolar protein; act as a regulator of RNA polymerase I; neural crest specification; nucleologenesis
PPRC1 Similar to PPAR-gamma coactivator 1; activate mitochondrial biogenesis through NRF1 in response to proliferative signals
SEC11A Member of the peptidase S26B family; subunit of the signal peptidase complex; cell migration and invasion, gastric cancer and lymph node metastasis
