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.

| Name | VRK2 |
|---|---|
| Function | Serine/threonine kinase that regulates several signal transduction pathways (PubMed:16704422, PubMed:14645249, PubMed:16495336, PubMed:17709393, PubMed:18617507, PubMed:18286207, PubMed:20679487). Isoform 1 modulates the stress response to hypoxia and cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL1B) and this is dependent on its interaction with MAPK8IP1, which assembles mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) complexes (PubMed:17709393). Inhibition of signal transmission mediated by the assembly of MAPK8IP1-MAPK complexes reduces JNK phosphorylation and JUN-dependent transcription (PubMed:18286207). Phosphorylates 'Thr-18' of p53/TP53, histone H3, and may also phosphorylate MAPK8IP1 (PubMed:16704422). Phosphorylates BANF1 and disrupts its ability to bind DNA and reduces its binding to LEM domain-containing proteins (PubMed:16495336). Down-regulates the transactivation of transcription induced by ERBB2, HRAS, BRAF, and MEK1 (PubMed:20679487). Blocks the phosphorylation of ERK in response to ERBB2 and HRAS (PubMed:20679487). Can also phosphorylate the following substrates that are commonly used to establish in vitro kinase activity: casein, MBP and histone H2B, but it is not sure that this is physiologically relevant (PubMed:14645249). |
| Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cytoplasm. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein. Nucleus envelope {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BN21} |
| Tissue Location | Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in various tumor cell lines. Expression of isoform 1 inversely correlates with ERBB2 in breast carcinomas (at protein level). Widely expressed. Highly expressed in fetal liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, heart, peripheral blood leukocytes and testis. |
