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 | Channel-forming and calcium-conducting subunit of the mitochondrial inner membrane calcium uniporter complex (uniplex), which mediates calcium uptake into the mitochondrial matrix (PubMed:21685886, PubMed:21685888, PubMed:22822213, PubMed:22829870, PubMed:22904319, PubMed:23101630, PubMed:23178883, PubMed:23755363, PubMed:24332854, PubMed:24560927, PubMed:26341627, PubMed:29954988, PubMed:29995857, PubMed:30454562, PubMed:30638448, PubMed:31080062, PubMed:32494073, PubMed:32762847, PubMed:33296646, PubMed:37036971, PubMed:37126688). MCU channel activity is regulated by the calcium-sensor subunits of the uniplex MICU1 and MICU2 (or MICU3) (PubMed:24560927, PubMed:26903221, PubMed:30454562, PubMed:30638448, PubMed:32494073, PubMed:32762847, PubMed:37036971, PubMed:37126688). Mitochondrial calcium homeostasis plays key roles in cellular physiology and regulates ATP production, cytoplasmic calcium signals and activation of cell death pathways (PubMed:21685886, PubMed:21685888, PubMed:22822213, PubMed:22829870, PubMed:22904319, PubMed:23101630, PubMed:23178883, PubMed:23755363, PubMed:24332854, PubMed:24560927, PubMed:26341627, PubMed:29954988, PubMed:32494073, PubMed:32762847). Involved in buffering the amplitude of systolic calcium rises in cardiomyocytes (PubMed:22822213). While dispensable for baseline homeostatic cardiac function, acts as a key regulator of short-term mitochondrial calcium loading underlying a 'fight-or-flight' response during acute stress: acts by mediating a rapid increase of mitochondrial calcium in pacemaker cells (PubMed:25603276). Participates in mitochondrial permeability transition during ischemia-reperfusion injury (By similarity). Mitochondrial calcium uptake in skeletal muscle cells is involved in muscle size in adults (By similarity). Regulates synaptic vesicle endocytosis kinetics in central nerve terminal (By similarity). Regulates glucose-dependent insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells by regulating mitochondrial calcium uptake (PubMed:22829870, PubMed:22904319). Involved in antigen processing and presentation (By similarity). |
