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.

- BACKGROUND
Application 
| WB, IHC, IP |
|---|---|
| Primary Accession | Q6ISU1 |
| Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat |
| Host | Rabbit |
| Clonality | Polyclonal |
| Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
| Calculated MW | 29266 Da |
| Gene ID | 171558 |
|---|---|
| Application & Usage | Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml). Based on researcher’s feedback, it can also be used in immunoprecipitation (10-20 µg/ml); and Immunohistochemistry (15-25 µg/ml). However, the optimal concentrations should be determined individually. The antibody recognizes TCR α in human sample, and to a lesser extent to mouse and rat samples. Jurkat cell lysate can be used as a positive control. |

Background
TCR (T cell antigen receptor) recognizes foreign antigens and translates such recognition events into intracellular signals that elicit a change in the cell from a dormant to an activated state. TCR is a heterodimer composed of either α and β or γ and δ chains. The vast majority of circulating T cells (95%) express the α/β heterodimer while ro µghly 2-5% express the γ/δ heterodimer. CD3 chains and the CD4 or CD8 coreceptors are also required for efficient signal transduction thro µgh the TCR.
