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.Vimentin Antibody

Background
Vimentin is the most common member of intermediate filament (IF) family and one of the main components in cytoskeleton structure. It is expressed during cell development and differentiation in variety of mescencymal cells and cell types derived from mesoderm (1). Vimentin is essential in the role of cell integrity and cytoskeletal stability. The reorganization of Vimentin, similar to all IF proteins, occurs during different stages of the cell cycle and cell signaling by a site-specific phosphorylation (serine and threonine residues) (2). In particular, p21-activated kinase (PAK) phosphorylates at Ser25, Ser38, Ser50, Ser65 and Ser72 which induces Vimentin specific reorganization (3). During cytokinesis, Vimentin is regulated by Rho-kinase (ROCK) and Aurora B through phosphorylation at Ser38 and Ser72 (4). Also, coordinated by ROCK and Aurora B, Plk1 induces phosphorylation at Ser82 plays an important role in Vimentin segregation (5).
