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
Cathepsin E (EC: 3.4.23.34) (CTSE) is an intracellular gastric aspartyl protease. It was originally identified as a cathepsin D-like acid protease. It is active in acidic conditions in a pH range from 2.5 to 5.5. In vitro experiments have identified several CTSE substrates including insulin beta chain, neurokinin, and FGF. Although the function of CTSE is not completely understood, it has been implicated in several physiological and pathological processes. CTSE is required for antigen presentation on class II MHC molecules. CTSE-deficient macrophages show abnormalities such as autophagy. Like many other cathepsins, CTSE has emerged as a therapy target for cancers, such as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In addition to PDAC, CTSE is also overexpressed in gastric carcinomas and cervical and lung adenocarcinomas. The possible involvement of CTSE in neurodegeneration has also been reported. This protease has a specificity similar to that of pepsin A and cathepsin D. It is found in highest concentration in the surface of epithelial mucus-producing cells of the stomach. It is found in more than half of gastric cancers.
