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.

| Function | Prenyltransferase that mediates the formation of menaquinone- 4 (MK-4) and coenzyme Q10 (PubMed:20953171, PubMed:23374346). MK-4 is a vitamin K2 isoform present at high concentrations in the brain, kidney and pancreas, and is required for endothelial cell development (PubMed:20953171). Mediates the conversion of phylloquinone (PK) into MK-4, probably by cleaving the side chain of phylloquinone (PK) to release 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione; K3) and then prenylating it with geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP) to form MK-4 (PubMed:20953171). Also plays a role in cardiovascular development independently of MK-4 biosynthesis, by acting as a coenzyme Q10 biosynthetic enzyme: coenzyme Q10, also named ubiquinone, plays an important antioxidant role in the cardiovascular system (PubMed:23374346). Mediates biosynthesis of coenzyme Q10 in the Golgi membrane, leading to protect cardiovascular tissues from NOS3/eNOS- dependent oxidative stress (PubMed:23374346). |

Background
The UbiA prenyltransferase domain containing 1 (UBIAD1) protein , also known as TERE1, was initially identified as a down-regulated gene in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (1). Recently it has been shown to bind the cholesterol carrier APOE and modulate cellular cholesterol levels (2). Mutations in the UBIAD1 gene can cause Schnyder crystalline corneal dystrophy, an autosomal dominant disease characterized by progressive opacification of the cornea resulting from the local accumulation of lipids (3).
