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.

Background
BCAS1 Antibody: BCAS1 was identified through positional cloning and was found to be overexpressed in most but not all breast cancer cells lines. Little is known about this protein; BCAS1 is cytoplasmically localized and is thought to form homodimers through coiled-coil structures. High levels of BCAS1 mRNA are seen in brain and prostate tissues, with lower amounts observed in colon, intestine and testis. Cells engineered to overexpress BCAS1 did not lose anchorage-dependent growth or increase their rate of growth, suggesting that BCAS1 is not a prototypical oncogene. The BCAS1 gene was also found to be amplified in other carcinomas such as pancreatic carcinoma, suggesting that BCAS1 may play in important role in the control of cell proliferation.
