Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Function | Coenzyme A-dependent lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group on a lysophosphatidic acid (PubMed:18606822). Functions preferentially with 1-oleoyl- lysophosphatidic acid followed by 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidic acid, 1- stearoyl-lysophosphatidic acid and 1-arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidic acid as lipid acceptor. Functions preferentially with arachidonoyl-CoA followed by oleoyl-CoA as acyl group donors (By similarity). Functions in phosphatidic acid biosynthesis (PubMed:18606822). May regulate the cellular storage of triacylglycerol through activation of the phospholipase PNPLA2 (PubMed:16679289). Involved in keratinocyte differentiation (PubMed:18832586). Regulates lipid droplet fusion (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBL9}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBL9}. Note=Colocalized with PLIN and ADRP on the surface of lipid droplets. The localization is dependent upon the metabolic status of the adipocytes and the activity of PKA (By similarity). |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed in various tissues, including lymphocytes, liver, skeletal muscle and brain. Expressed by upper epidermal layers and dermal fibroblasts in skin, hepatocytes and neurons (at protein level). |

Background
Comparative Gene Identification-58 (CGI-58) is a causal gene of Dorfman-Chanarin syndrome, a neutral lipid storage disease characterized by the presence of intracellular lipid droplets in tissues. CGI-58 comes from a large family of proteins characterized by an α/β hydrolase fold that activates adipose triglyceride lipase thus, may involve in lipid metabolism.
