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 | WDR77 (HGNC:29652) |
|---|---|
| Function | Non-catalytic component of the methylosome complex, composed of PRMT5, WDR77 and CLNS1A, which modifies specific arginines to dimethylarginines in several spliceosomal Sm proteins and histones (PubMed:11756452). This modification targets Sm proteins to the survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex for assembly into small nuclear ribonucleoprotein core particles. Might play a role in transcription regulation. The methylosome complex also methylates the Piwi proteins (PIWIL1, PIWIL2 and PIWIL4), methylation of Piwi proteins being required for the interaction with Tudor domain-containing proteins and subsequent localization to the meiotic nuage (PubMed:23071334). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Nuclear in Leydig cells and cytoplasmic in germ cells during fetal testicular development. In adult testis, predominantly nuclear. Subcellular location varies from nuclear to cytoplasmic in various tumors (PubMed:17437848). |
| Tissue Location | Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, spleen, testis, uterus, prostate and thymus. In testis, expressed in germ cells and Leydig cells, but not in peritubular myocytes, nor in Sertoli cells. Expressed in prostate cancers, in seminomas and in Leydig cell tumors. |

Background
WDR77 is a component of the 20S PRMT5 (MIM604045)-containing methyltransferase complex, which modifiesspecific arginines to dimethylarginines in several spliceosomal Smproteins (see MIM 601061). This modification targets Sm proteins tothe survival of motor neurons (SMN) complex (see MIM 600354) forassembly into small nuclear ribonucleoprotein core particles(Friesen et al., 2002 [PubMed 11756452]).
