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.

| Name | WAPL (HGNC:23293) |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | FOE, KIAA0261, WAPAL |
| Function | Regulator of sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis which negatively regulates cohesin association with chromatin (PubMed:26299517). Involved in both sister chromatid cohesion during interphase and sister-chromatid resolution during early stages of mitosis. Couples DNA replication to sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesion ensures that chromosome partitioning is accurate in both meiotic and mitotic cells and plays an important role in DNA repair. |
| Cellular Location | [Isoform 2]: Nucleus. |
| Tissue Location | Isoform 1 is highly expressed in uterine cervix tumor. Isoform 2 is widely expressed with a high level in skeletal muscle and heart. |

Background
WAPL (wings apart-like), also known as WAPAL or FOE, is a 1,190 amino acid protein that contains one WAPL domain and may play an important role in cell growth (1). It is expressed in an isoform dependent manner in heart, skeletal muscle (isoform 2) and uterine cervix tumor tissue (isoform 1) (1,2,4). WAPL is involved in sister-chromatid adhesion and promotes release of cohesin from chromosomes by directly interacting with its regulatory subunits (3,4). WAPL is a new regulator of the development and metastasis of cancerous tissue (4,5).
