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.MMP-1 Antibody

Background
Human interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1, MMP-1), an enzyme whose only known physiologic substrate has heretofore been believed to be the extracellular matrix molecule, collagen. Data indicate that matrix metalloproteinase-1 displays an expanded substrate repertoire that supports the existence of a new interface between connective tissue turnover and serine proteinase inhibitors (1). It has been shown that the MMP-1 functions as a protease agonist of Protease-activated receptors (PAR1) cleaving the receptor at the proper site to generate PAR1-dependent Ca2+ signals and migration. These results demonstrate that MMP-1 in the stromal-tumor microenvironment can alter the behavior of cancer cells through PAR1 to promote cell migration and invasion (2). It has also been suggested that increased levels of MMP-1 due to tobacco smoking plays a major role in the aging process of skin since MMP-1 degrades collagen, which accounts for at least 70% of the dry weight of dermis. Significantly more MMP-1 has been detected in the skin of smokers than non-smokers whereas no difference was seen for the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1) (3).
