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.

|---|---|
| Synonyms | GA |
| Function | Plays an important role in the regulation of glutamine catabolism. Promotes mitochondrial respiration and increases ATP generation in cells by catalyzing the synthesis of glutamate and alpha- ketoglutarate. Increases cellular anti-oxidant function via NADH and glutathione production. May play a role in preventing tumor proliferation. |
| Cellular Location | Mitochondrion. |
| Tissue Location | Highly expressed in liver. Expressed in brain and pancreas. Not observed in heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and kidney. Expression is significantly reduced in hepatocellular carcinomas. |

Background
GLS2 Antibody: Phosphate-activated glutaminase, also known as Glutaminase 2 (GLS2), was initially isolated from rat liver, although it has been shown to be expressed in other tissues. Like the functionally similar, larger kidney glutaminase, GLS2 catalyzes the hydrolysis of glutamine to stoichiometric amounts of glutamate and ammonia. Expression of GLS2 is increased by p53 under both stressed and nonstressed conditions, resulting in increased levels of glutamate and alpha-ketoglutarate, which in turn results in enhanced mitochondrial respiration and ATP generation. GLS2 also regulates antioxidant defense function in cells by increasing reduced glutathione levels and decreasing ROS-levels, suggesting that GLS2 acts as a mediator of p53's role in antioxidant defense in addition to its role in energy metabolism.
