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 | RIC8A |
|---|---|
| Function | Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which can activate some, but not all, G-alpha proteins. Able to activate GNAI1, GNAO1 and GNAQ, but not GNAS by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Involved in regulation of microtubule pulling forces during mitotic movement of chromosomes by stimulating G(i)-alpha protein, possibly leading to release G(i)-alpha-GTP and NuMA proteins from the NuMA-GPSM2-G(i)- alpha-GDP complex (By similarity). Also acts as an activator for G(q)- alpha (GNAQ) protein by enhancing the G(q)-coupled receptor-mediated ERK activation. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80ZG1}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80ZG1}. Note=Colocalizes with RGS14 in CA2 hippocampal neurons. Colocalizes with GNAI1 and RGS14 at the plasma membrane (By similarity). |
