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 | TMC8 (HGNC:20474) |
|---|---|
| Function | Acts as a regulatory protein involved in the regulation of numerous cellular processes (PubMed:18158319, PubMed:23429285, PubMed:30068544, PubMed:32917726). Together with its homolog TMC6/EVER1, forms a complex with calcium-binding protein CIB1 in lymphocytes and keratynocytes where TMC6 and TMC8 stabilize CIB1 levels and reciprocally (PubMed:30068544, PubMed:32917726). Together with TMC6, also forms a complex with and activates zinc transporter ZNT1 at the ER membrane of keratynocytes, thereby facilitating zinc uptake into the ER (PubMed:18158319). Also inhibits receptor-mediated calcium release from ER stores and calcium activated and volume regulated chloride channels (PubMed:25220380). Down-regulates the activity of transcription factors induced by zinc and cytokines (PubMed:18158319). Also sequesters TRADD which impairs the recruitment of TRAF2 and RIPK1 in the pro-survival complex I and promotes proapoptotic complex II formation, and may therefore be involved in TNF-induced cell death/survival decisions (PubMed:23429285). |
| Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Nucleus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localizes to the ER, Golgi and nucleus membranes in keratinocytes. |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in placenta, prostate and testis. |

Background
Epidermodysplasia verruciformis (EV) is an autosomal recessive dermatosis characterized by abnormal susceptibility to human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and a high rate of progression to squamous cell carcinoma on sun-exposed skin. EV is caused by mutations in either of two adjacent genes located on chromosome 17q25.3. Both of these genes encode integral membrane proteins that localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and are predicted to form transmembrane channels. This gene encodes a transmembrane channel-like protein with 8 predicted transmembrane domains and 3 leucine zipper motifs.
