Protein binding node. The protein binding node is connected to 12 other nodes. The protein binding node is the most significant node because it encompasses 331 genes. Of the 468 genes in the PCOS molecular function network, 339 (72.4%) are involved in protein binding and are thereby linked to other protein nodes such as the transcription factors (34 genes), identical proteins (37 genes), protein dimerization (35 genes), receptors (50 genes), protein complexes (13 genes), cyclins (2 genes), enzymes (24 genes), growth factors (13 genes), follistatins (3 genes), and insulin receptor substrates (3 genes).
