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 | DIABLO (HGNC:21528) |
|---|---|
| Function | Promotes apoptosis by activating caspases in the cytochrome c/Apaf-1/caspase-9 pathway. Acts by opposing the inhibitory activity of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP). Inhibits the activity of BIRC6/BRUCE by inhibiting its binding to caspases (PubMed:15200957, PubMed:36758104, PubMed:36758105, PubMed:36758106). |
| Cellular Location | Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm, cytosol Note=Released into the cytosol in a PARL-dependent manner when cells undergo apoptosis. |
| Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in testis. Expression is also high in heart, liver, kidney, spleen, prostate and ovary. Low in brain, lung, thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Isoform 3 is ubiquitously expressed |

Background
Apoptosis is a conserved cell suicide program essential for the development and homeostasis of multi-cellular organisms. Abnormal inhibition of apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer and autoimmune diseases, whereas excessive cell death is found in neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimers disease. Executioners of the apoptotic program are cysteine proteases termed caspases that exist as inactive zymogens in living cells and are activated during apoptosis. Active caspases cleave key intracellular protein substrates, resulting in the characteristic morphological changes associated with apoptosis. The release of cytochrome c from the mitochondria triggers the oligomerization of Apaf-1 in an ATP/dATP-dependent manner and induces the autoactivation of caspase-9. Active caspase-9 in turn activates downstream effector caspases including caspase -3, -6 and -7.
