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 | Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development (PubMed:9662389, PubMed:11399089, PubMed:10555141, PubMed:11919202, PubMed:16567415, PubMed:17713477). DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones (PubMed:9662389, PubMed:11399089, PubMed:10555141, PubMed:11919202, PubMed:16567415, PubMed:17713477). It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites (PubMed:9662389, PubMed:11399089, PubMed:10555141, PubMed:11919202, PubMed:16567415, PubMed:17713477). May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1 (PubMed:18823905). Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting (PubMed:15215868). Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells (PubMed:15215868). Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZBTB18 (PubMed:11350943). Recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites (PubMed:20547484). Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity (PubMed:11350943). Also has weak auto- methylation activity on Cys-706 in absence of DNA (PubMed:21481189). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Y6K1}. Note=Accumulates in the major satellite repeats at pericentric heterochromatin. |
| Tissue Location | Isoform 1 is expressed ubiquitously at low levels. Expression of isoform 2 is restricted to tissues containing cells which are undergoing active de novo methylation, including spleen, testis and thymus. |

Background
Methylation of DNA at cytosine residues plays an important role in regulation of gene expression, genomic imprinting, and is essential for mammalian development. Hypermethylation of CpG islands in tumor suppressor genes or hypomethylation of bulk genomic DNA may be linked with development of cancer. To date, three families of mammalian DNA methyltransferase genes have been identified which include DNMT1, DNMT2, and DNMT3. DNMT1 is constitutively expressed in proliferating cells and inactivation of this gene causes global demethylation of genomic DNA and embryonic lethality. DNMT2 is expressed at low levels in adult tissues and its inactivation does not affect DNA methylation or maintenance of methylation. The DNMT3 family members, DNMT3a and DNMT3b, are strongly expressed in embryonic stem (ES) cells but their expression is down regulated in differentiating ES cells and is low in adult somatic tissue. Recently, it has been shown that naturally occurring mutations of DNMT3b gene occur in patients with a rare autosomal recessive disorder, termed ICF (immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies) syndrome.
