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.KCNE4 (MiRP3) Antibody

Background
The K+ voltage-gated channel subfamily E member (KCNE) family is a group of small, non-conducting, single transmembrane domain proteins that associate with pore-forming potassium channel subunits to form mixed complexes with unique characteristics1. Five different KCNE proteins have been described (KCNE1-5)2. The KCNE regulatory subunits are small proteins (14-20 kD) with a type-1 integral membrane topology. It is believed that both the cytoplasmic C-terminus tail and the transmembrane domain are necessary for the interaction with the α subunits1. MinK-related peptides (MiRPs) MiRP3, protein encoded by KCNE43. The importance of these proteins to normal physiology of the heart and nervous system is exposed by their association with clinical disorders such as congenital long QT syndrome, drug-induced cardiac arrhythmias, sensorineural deafness, and periodic paralysis4. In addition, MiRPs influence the normal physiology of endocrine and exocrine glands, intestinal secretion, and renal excretion. MiRP3 is found to co-localize with KV4.2 subunits that contribute to cardiac transient outward K+ currents5. Levels of the KCNE4 transcript in human cardiac ventricle are robust and increase in patients with congestive failure suggesting a regulatory function for MiRP3 in the heart6. In addition to regulating KV4.2, MiRP3 also regulates KCNQ1 and BK channels2,5.
