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 | CLDN18 |
|---|---|
| Function | Involved in alveolar fluid homeostasis via regulation of alveolar epithelial tight junction composition and therefore ion transport and solute permeability, potentially via downstream regulation of the actin cytoskeleton organization and beta-2-adrenergic signaling (By similarity). Required for lung alveolarization and maintenance of the paracellular alveolar epithelial barrier (By similarity). Acts to maintain epithelial progenitor cell proliferation and organ size, via regulation of YAP1 localization away from the nucleus and thereby restriction of YAP1 target gene transcription (By similarity). Acts as a negative regulator of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, potentially via relocation of TJP2/ZO-2 away from the nucleus, subsequently involved in bone resorption in response to calcium deficiency (By similarity). Mediates the osteoprotective effects of estrogen, potentially via acting downstream of estrogen signaling independently of RANKL signaling pathways (By similarity). |
