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
Adhesion to extracellular matrix regulates cell survival via integrin engagement and cell spreading. Anoikis is the molecular mechanism of apop-tosis induced by integrin detachment. A role for Bit1 (Bcl-2 inhibitor of transcription 1) has been identified in this process. Bit1 is a mitochondrial protein released into the cytoplasm upon onset of apoptosis where it forms a complex with AES, a small Groucho/transducin-like enhancer of split (TLE) protein and induces caspase-independent apoptosis. AES and TLE proteins are transcriptional co-repressors that play important roles in neurogenesis, segmentation, and sex determination. Bit1-AES complexes may switch off a survival-promoting gene transcription program controlled by TLE. Apoptosis of Bit1/AES transfected cells is inhibited when cells are permitted to attach to fibronectin through the alpha-beta integrin, suggesting that the contribution of the Bit1-AES pathway to anoikis is regulated by integrins.
