Genetics: BTN2A2 and BTN3A3

[forestglip]

Could you explain why I get the following associations in STRING :

I am particularly interested for the relations of MFGE8 (Milk Fat Globule - existing below in the figure describing efferocytosis) with BTN2A2, MERTK and GAS6.

I don't know anything about these proteins, but if you want to see how they're related, you should be able to click the lines between proteins on the STRING plot, and it'll give you all the evidence it based the relationships on.

If you select the BNT2A2 node you can go to the “Edges” tab and get details about the connection. Here is seems that the connection is just driven by both being mentioned in abstracts together, in the specific context of milk secretion:
