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 | Membrane-bound phosphatidylinositol-4 kinase (PI4-kinase) that catalyzes the phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P), a lipid that plays important roles in endocytosis, Golgi function, protein sorting and membrane trafficking and is required for prolonged survival of neurons. Besides, phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol (PI) to phosphatidylinositol 4- phosphate (PI4P) is the first committed step in the generation of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a precursor of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3). |

Background
Phosphatidylinositolpolyphosphates (PtdInsPs) are centrally involved in many biologic processes, ranging from cell growth and organization of the actin cytoskeleton to endo- and exocytosis. PI4KII phosphorylates PtdIns at the D-4 position, an essential step in the biosynthesis of PtdInsPs. PI4K II is activated by detergent and inhibited by adenosine. Overexpression of PI4KII in COS-7 cells increases synthesis of PtdIns4P. Some cells overexpressing PI4KII have scattered or no perinuclear Golgi. Knockdown of PI4KII by RNA interference (RNAi) does not disrupt the Golgi, and some cells show expanded Golgi. RNAi reduces the Golgi level of PtdIns4P and blocks the association between AP1 and the trans-Golgi network. PI4KII RNAi had little effect on intra-Golgi trafficking, but it inhibited export to plasma membrane export by 35%. It has been proposed that PI4KII generates PtdIns4P-rich domains within the Golgi that specify docking of the AP1 coat machinery.
