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
Bombesin is an active neuropeptide originally isolated from amphibian skin but also found in the central and peripheral nervous system of amphibians1. Later it was established that mammals and birds express two family groups of endogenous Bombesin-like factors, the gastrin-releasing peptides and neuromedin B2. The biological activities of bombesin are mediated through a family of three specific G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs): BB1which is also known as a neuromedin B receptor, BB2 also known as a gastrin-releasing peptide receptor and BB3 which is a low affinity binder for the Bombesin-like factors3,4.
Bombesin and Bombesin-like factors show a broad range of biological activities such as regulation of smooth muscle contraction, stimulation of neuropeptide and hormone secretion, modulation of neural activity, growth regulation, and mediate anorexic effects in the hypothalamus5.
