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 | E3 SUMO-protein ligase which facilitates SUMO1 conjugation by UBE2I (PubMed:12679040). Involved in the sumoylation of HNRNPK, a p53/TP53 transcriptional coactivator, hence indirectly regulates p53/TP53 transcriptional activation resulting in p21/CDKN1A expression. Monosumoylates ZNF131 (PubMed:22825850). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Note=Localization to nuclear polycomb bodies is required for ZNF131 sumoylation (PubMed:22467880). Localized in distinct foci on chromatin (PubMed:18927235) |
| Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. |

Background
CBX4 Antibody: Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are chromatin-associated proteins which are important for embryonic and adult stem cell self-renewal and maintenance. At least two distinct human PcG complexes have been identified. Polycomb repressive complex I (PRC1) contains CBX4/Pc2, HPH1 and RING domain-containing proteins (RING1, RING2 and BMI1). CBX4 (Chromobox protein homolog 4 or PC2), which functions as a transcriptional suppressor, is a candidate of KyoT2-binding proteins. It is a E3 SUMO-protein ligase which facilitates SUMO1 conjugation. Depletion of CBX4 results in decreased cellular resistance to ionizing radiation. CBX4 is directly involved in the cellular response to DNA damage.
