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
Doublecortin, or DCX, is a microtubule associated protein that is expressed almost exclusively in very early neuronal development (Brown et al., 2003), making it an excellent marker for developing neuronal cells. Defects in the DCX gene lead to X-linked lissencephaly which is characterized by a lack of normal folds on the surface of the brain resulting in a smooth cerebral cortex caused by abnormal migration of neurons during development (des Portes et al., 1998; Gleeson et al., 1998).
