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
This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factorsuperfamily. The encoded protein is synthesized as a largeprecursor molecule that is proteolytically cleaved to generate the53-amino acid epidermal growth factor peptide. This protein acts apotent mitogenic factor that plays an important role in the growth,proliferation and differentiation of numerous cell types. Thisprotein acts by binding the high affinity cell surface receptor,epidermal growth factor receptor. Defects in this gene are thecause of hypomagnesemia type 4. Dysregulation of this gene has beenassociated with the growth and progression of certain cancers.Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
