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.

| Target/Specificity | α-actinin-4 is a member of the actinin protein family comprised of an actin-binding domain in the N-terminus, 4 spectrin-like repeats in the central region, and 2 EF-hand motifs in the C-terminus (Honda et al, 1998). α-actinin-4 and CLP36 form a complex in normal kidney podocytes.CLP36 is dependent on α-actinin-4 for maintenance of its level in podocytes, whereas α-actinin-4 is independent of CLP36. α-actinin-4 is widely expressed in mammalian tissues and organs, while having a high occurrence of genetic mutations in kidney podocytes (Kos et al, 2003). FSGS, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, is a rare genetic disease that attacks the kidney's filtering units (glomeruli) causing serious scarring which leads to permanent kidney damage and even failure. Three key mutations have been found in α-actinin-4 in people diagnosed with FSGS. R310Q and Q348R, located in the spectrin-like repeats region, and K255E located in the actin-binding region. The R310Q and Q348R mutation significantly inhibits the ability of α-actinin-4 to form the complex with CLP36. The K255E mutation was reversed where it increased the ability to bind CLP36 in the actin-binding region (Liu et al, 2011). |
