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 | CYGB (HGNC:16505) |
|---|---|
| Function | Probable multifunctional globin with a hexacoordinated heme iron required for the catalysis of various reactions depending on redox condition of the cell as well as oxygen availability (PubMed:12359339, PubMed:11893755, PubMed:19147491, PubMed:20511233, PubMed:28671819, PubMed:28393874, PubMed:29128400, PubMed:33576020, PubMed:34930834, PubMed:15165856). Has a nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) activity and is most probably involved in cell-mediated and oxygen-dependent nitric oxide consumption (PubMed:19147491, PubMed:20511233, PubMed:28671819, PubMed:28393874). By scavenging this second messenger may regulate several biological processes including endothelium-mediated vasodilation and vascular tone (PubMed:19147491, PubMed:28393874). Under normoxic conditions functions as a nitric oxide dioxygenase (NOD) but under hypoxic conditions the globin may switch its function to that of a nitrite (NO2) reductase (NiR), generating nitric oxide (PubMed:29128400). Could also have peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities, detoxifying reactive oxygen species and protecting cells against oxidative stress (PubMed:12359339, PubMed:33576020, PubMed:34930834). Also binds dioxygen with low affinity and could function as an oxygen sensor but has probably no function as a respiratory oxygen carrier (PubMed:11893755, PubMed:15299006, PubMed:20553503). |

Background
Cytoglobin is a ubiquitously expressed hexacoordinatehemoglobin that may facilitate diffusion of oxygen through tissues,scavenge nitric oxide or other reactive oxygen species, or serve aprotective function during oxidative stress (Trent and Hargrove,2002 [PubMed 11893755]).
