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
Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of glutathioneS-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. Atpresent, eight distinct classes of the soluble cytoplasmicmammalian glutathione S-transferases have been identified: alpha,kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta and zeta. This gene encodes aglutathione S-transferase that belongs to the mu class. The muclass of enzymes functions in the detoxification of electrophiliccompounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmentaltoxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjugation withglutathione. The genes encoding the mu class of enzymes areorganized in a gene cluster on chromosome 1p13.3 and are known tobe highly polymorphic. These genetic variations can change anindividual's susceptibility to carcinogens and toxins as well asaffect the toxicity and efficacy of certain drugs. Diversificationof these genes has occurred in regions encoding substrate-bindingdomains, as well as in tissue expression patterns, to accommodatean increasing number of foreign compounds.
