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 | MBD2 (HGNC:6917) |
|---|---|
| Function | Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides (PubMed:9774669). Binds hemimethylated DNA as well (PubMed:10947852, PubMed:24307175). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases to chromatin (PubMed:10471499, PubMed:10947852). Acts as a component of the histone deacetylase NuRD complex which participates in the remodeling of chromatin (PubMed:16428440, PubMed:28977666). Acts as a transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing (PubMed:10471499, PubMed:10947852, PubMed:16415179). Functions as a scaffold protein, targeting GATAD2A and GATAD2B to chromatin to promote repression (PubMed:16415179). May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters (PubMed:12665568). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome Note=Nuclear, in discrete foci (PubMed:12183469). Detected at replication foci in late S phase. Localizes to methylated chromatin (PubMed:16428440). Localizes to sites of DNA damage in a manner partially dependent on ZMYND8 (PubMed:27732854) |
| Tissue Location | Highly expressed in brain, heart, kidney, stomach, testis and placenta. |
