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 | Multifunctional sorting protein that controls the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria communication, including the apposition of mitochondria with the ER and ER homeostasis. In addition, in response to apoptotic inducer, translocates BIB to mitochondria, which initiates a sequence of events including the formation of mitochondrial truncated BID, the release of cytochrome c, the activation of caspase-3 thereby causing cell death. May also be involved in ion channel trafficking, directing acidic cluster-containing ion channels to distinct subcellular compartments. |
| Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion |
| Tissue Location | Broadly expressed, with greatest levels in skeletal muscle followed by heart, brain, pancreas and testis |

Background
PACS2 (phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein-2), PACS1L, is an 889 amino acid protein that localizes to both the mitochondrion and the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and belongs to the PACS family (1,2). It is expressed in a broad range of tissues with highest expression in skeletal muscle, brain, heart, testis and pancreas (2,). PACS2 interacts with Polycystin-2 and BID and functions as a sorting protein that regulates mitochondria-ER communication and is thought to be involved in ion channel trafficking, specifically direct cluster-containing ion channels to distinct subcellular compartments (3-5).
