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 | TUBA4A |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | TUBA1 |
| Function | Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers. Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms. Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. |

Background
Microtubules of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton performessential and diverse functions and are composed of a heterodimerof alpha and beta tubulin. The genes encoding these microtubuleconstituents are part of the tubulin superfamily, which is composedof six distinct families. Genes from the alpha, beta and gammatubulin families are found in all eukaryotes. The alpha and betatubulins represent the major components of microtubules, whilegamma tubulin plays a critical role in the nucleation ofmicrotubule assembly. There are multiple alpha and beta tubulingenes and they are highly conserved among and between species. Thisgene encodes an alpha tubulin that is a highly conserved homolog ofa rat testis-specific alpha tubulin.
