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.

| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8874b was selected from the C-term region of human CYP51A1. 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 | CYP51A1 (HGNC:2649) |

| Synonyms | CYP51 |
| Function | Sterol 14alpha-demethylase that plays a critical role in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway, being cholesterol the major sterol component in mammalian membranes as well as a precursor for bile acid and steroid hormone synthesis (PubMed:8619637, PubMed:9559662, PubMed:20149798). Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase that catalyzes the three-step oxidative removal of the 14alpha-methyl group (C-32) of sterols such as lanosterol (lanosta-8,24-dien-3beta-ol) and 24,25- dihydrolanosterol (DHL) in the form of formate, and converts the sterols to 4,4-dimethyl-5alpha-cholesta-8,14,24-trien-3beta-ol and 4,4- dimethyl-8,14-cholestadien-3beta-ol, respectively, which are intermediates of cholesterol biosynthesis (PubMed:8619637, PubMed:9559662, PubMed:20149798). Can also demethylate substrates not intrinsic to mammals, such as eburicol (24-methylene-24,25- dihydrolanosterol), but at a lower rate than DHL (PubMed:9559662). |

Background
CYP51A1 is a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. This endoplasmic reticulum protein participates in the synthesis of cholesterol by catalyzing the removal of the 14alpha-methyl group from lanosterol.
