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.

Background
Tropomyosin-receptor-kinase (TRK) receptors are members of the receptor tyrosine kinase family and include TrkA, TrkB and TrkC. Each of these receptor types has different binding affinities to the neurotrophins nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophin 3 (NT-3). TrkB has the highest affinity to binding BDNF which plays critical roles in the function and survival of neurons in the CNS (Soppet et al., 1991; Klein et al., 1991). Additionally, alterations in expression of TrkB have been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (Ferrer et al., 1999; Chen et al., 2008).
