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.News & Announcements
Target of the Week - PDK4 Antibodies
Abgent offers a portfolio of antibodies for the detection of Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 4 (PDK4) in western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence.

Target of the Week - BMPR Antibodies
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) belong to the large transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of multifunctional cytokines. Signaling of the BMPs requires the binding of the BMP to the BMP cell surface receptors BMPR-IA, BMPR-IB, and BMPR-II.

Target of the Week - GLS Antibodies
Glutaminase is the major enzyme yielding glutamate from glutamine. This enzyme catalyzes the first reaction in the primary pathway for the renal catabolism of glutamine. Significance also arises from implication in behavior disturbances in which glutamate acts as a neurotransmitter.

Target of the Week - LGR5/GPR49 Antibodies
LGR5, also known as GPR49, is a member of the Wnt signaling pathway expressed across a diverse range of tissues, and particularly as a biomarker of adult stem cells in certain tissues.

Target of the Week - c-KIT Antibodies
C-kit was first identified as the cellular homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit. This protein is a type 3 transmembrane receptor for MGF (mast cell growth factor, also known as stem cell factor). Mutations are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous…

Target of the Week - Beclin 1 Antibodies
Beclin 1 is the first identified mammalian gene to mediate autophagy and also has tumor suppressor and antiviral function. Expression of the Beclin 1 protein is frequently decreased in malignant breast epithelial cells.

Target of the Week - GSK3 Antibodies
Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) regulates glycogen synthesis in response to insulin. It is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine protein kinase that phosphorylates and inactivates glycogen synthase...

Target of the Week - SHP2 Antibodies
Abgent's anti-SHP2-Ab (Cat# AP8471e) has recently been used to detect the immunochemistry expression pattern in stage I-III colorectal carcinoma (CRC). SHP2 expression in CRC correlated to a good prognosis, indicating SHP2 tends to be a tumor suppressor in CRC.
Feb 23, 2015
Target of the Week - ALK Antibodies
ALK kinase is involved in the MAPK-pathway which contributes to cell proliferation induction and cancers such as inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs), anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), and adenocarcinoma. One of Abgent’s ALK antibodies was cited recently in Toxicol. Sci. 2015 Jan;143(1):116-25.
