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
ME1, also known as NADP-ME, MES or HUMNDME, may play an important role as a housekeeping protein within the cell (1). ME1 is a 572 amino acid cytoplasmic protein that belongs to the malic enzyme family (2). It is expressed ubiquitously with highest expression in liver and white adipose tissue. ME1 functions as an NADP-dependent enzyme that generates NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis (3). The activity of this enzyme, the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of malate, links the glycolytic and citric acid cycles (3,4). ME1 is regulated by both thyroid hormone levels and the amount of carbohydrates in the diet (5).
