Protein network analysis of significant proteins in sinus node (SN) versus atrial muscle (RA). A STRING network was retrieved for all proteins deemed significant by volcano plot analysis. Clustering was performed relative to confidence score of the interaction, and ontology enrichment analysis was performed on the resulting clusters. Gene Ontology terms describing the clusters were deduced as highlighted in the figure, pointing to overall differences between sinus node and atrial muscle. Colours represent tissue of overexpression (red—SN, blue—RA) and cluster colours represent the tissue-specificity of the cluster. Mean protein intensity values are based on three biological replicates in each group, each containing pooled tissue sections from ten mice
