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.

| Description | Sperm mitochondria differ in morphology and subcellular localization from those of somatic cells. They are elongated, flattened, and arranged circumferentially to form a helical coiled sheath in the midpiece of the sperm flagellum. The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the capsule associated with the mitochondrial outer membranes and is thought to function in the organization and stabilization of the helical structure of the sperm's mitochondrial sheath. |
| Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of human SMCP (AA: 1-116) expressed in E. Coli. |
| Formulation | Purified antibody in PBS with 0.05% sodium azide. |
| Gene ID | 4184 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | Sperm mitochondrial-associated cysteine-rich protein, SMCP, MCS, MCSP |

|---|---|
| Synonyms | MCS, MCSP |
| Function | Involved in sperm motility. Its absence is associated with genetic background dependent male infertility. Infertility may be due to reduced sperm motility in the female reproductive tract and inability to penetrate the oocyte zona pellucida (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Becomes associated with the spermatid mitochondrion capsule at step 16 of spermatogenesis. |
| Tissue Location | Testis. Is selectively expressed in the spermatids of seminiferous tubules. |

Background
Mutations in this gene are associated with Nijmegen breakage syndrome, an autosomal recessive chromosomal instability syndrome characterized by microcephaly, growth retardation, immunodeficiency, and cancer predisposition. The encoded protein is a member of the MRE11/RAD50 double-strand break repair complex which consists of 5 proteins. This gene product is thought to be involved in DNA double-strand break repair and DNA damage-induced checkpoint activation. ;
