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
HSP22 (HSPB8) is a 196-amino acid protein that is a member of the small heat shock protein super-family and the human protein is most closely related to HSP27. Similar to most other sHSPs, HSP22 is predominately transcribed in skeletal muscle and heart, as well as the placenta (1). HSP22 is a monomeric protein which interacts with HSPB1. It displays temperature-dependent chaperone activity. In a two hybrid screen, HSPB8 interacted preferentially with a triple aspartate form of HSP27 which mimics HSP27 phosphorylated at Ser15, Ser78, and Ser82, as compared to wild-type HSP27 (2). HSPB8 has two binding domains (N and C Terminal) that are specific for different binding partners, and has the ability to bind itself and other sHSPs (3). The chaperone-like activity is of great importance to the function of HSP22 in various processes including proliferation, apoptosis and macro autophagy (4). Mutations in the HSPB8 gene are associated with the inherited peripheral neuropathies, autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuropathy type IIA (dSMA) and axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2L (CMT2L) (5).
