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.

| Function | Forms a water-specific channel (PubMed:19383790, PubMed:7559426, PubMed:8601457). Plays an important role in brain water homeostasis (PubMed:37143309). It is involved in glymphatic solute transport and is required for a normal rate of water exchange across the blood brain interface. Required for normal levels of cerebrospinal fluid influx into the brain cortex and parenchyma along paravascular spaces that surround penetrating arteries, and for normal drainage of interstitial fluid along paravenous drainage pathways. Thereby, it is required for normal clearance of solutes from the brain interstitial fluid, including soluble beta-amyloid peptides derived from APP. Plays a redundant role in urinary water homeostasis and urinary concentrating ability (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P55088}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P47863}. Cell membrane, sarcolemma; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P47863}. Note=Activation of the vasopressin receptor AVPR1A triggers AQP4 phosphorylation at Ser-180 and promotes its internalization from the cell membrane. Detected on brain astrocyte processes and astrocyte endfeet close to capillaries {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P47863} |
| Tissue Location | Detected in skeletal muscle (PubMed:29055082). Detected in stomach, along the glandular base region of the fundic gland (at protein level) (PubMed:8601457). Detected in brain, lung and skeletal muscle, and at much lower levels in heart and ovary (PubMed:7559426, PubMed:8601457). |
