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
| Primary Accession | O75173 |
|---|---|
| Clone Names | 80325132 |
| Gene ID | 9507 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4, ADAM-TS 4, ADAM-TS4, ADAMTS-4, ADMP-1, Aggrecanase-1, ADAMTS4, KIAA0688 |
| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7439b was selected from the C-term region of human ADAMTS4. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
| Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
| Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | ADAMTS4 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | KIAA0688 |
| Function | Cleaves aggrecan, a cartilage proteoglycan, and may be involved in its turnover. May play an important role in the destruction of aggrecan in arthritic diseases. Could also be a critical factor in the exacerbation of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer disease. Cleaves aggrecan at the '392-Glu-|-Ala-393' site. |
| Cellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in brain, lung and heart (PubMed:23897278). Expressed at very low level in placenta and skeletal muscles (PubMed:23897278). Isoform 2: Detected in osteoarthritic synovium (PubMed:16723216, PubMed:23897278) |

Background
ADAMTS4 is a member of the ADAMTS (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) protein family. Members of the family share several distinct protein modules, including a propeptide region, a metalloproteinase domain, a disintegrin-like domain, and a thrombospondin type 1 (TS) motif. Individual members of this family differ in the number of C-terminal TS motifs, and some have unique C-terminal domains. The enzyme lacks a C-terminal TS motif. It is responsible for the degradation of aggrecan, a major proteoglycan of cartilage, and brevican, a brain-specific extracellular matrix protein. The cleavage of aggrecan and brevican suggests key roles of this enzyme in arthritic disease and in the central nervous system, potentially, in the progression of glioma.
