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 | MRAP |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | C21orf61, FALP |
| Function | Modulator of melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC2R, MC3R, MC4R and MC5R). Acts by increasing ligand-sensitivity of melanocortin receptors and enhancing generation of cAMP by the receptors. Required both for MC2R trafficking to the cell surface of adrenal cells and for signaling in response to corticotropin (ACTH). May be involved in the intracellular trafficking pathways in adipocyte cells. |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Note=The formation of antiparallel homo- and heterodimers suggest that N- and C-terminus can both localize in the cytoplasmic and extracellular parts, depending on the context (PubMed:20371771). Upon insulin stimulation, it is redistributed into spotty structures throughout the cytoplasm |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in adrenal cortex, testis, breast, thyroid, lymph node, ovary and fat. Expressed in adipose tissues |

Background
MRAP encodes a melanocortin receptor-interacting protein. The encoded protein regulates trafficking and function of the melanocortin 2 receptor in the adrenal gland. The encoded protein can also modulate signaling of other melanocortin receptors. Mutations in this gene have been associated with familial glucocorticoid deficiency type 2.
