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
The protein encoded by this gene plays a key role in theacute regulation of steroid hormone synthesis by enhancing theconversion of cholesterol into pregnenolone. This protein permitsthe cleavage of cholesterol into pregnenolone by mediating thetransport of cholesterol from the outer mitochondrial membrane tothe inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene are acause of congenital lipoid adrenal hyperplasia (CLAH), also calledlipoid CAH. A pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome 13.
