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.

| Target/Specificity | SOX2 (SRY (sex-determining region Y)-box 2) is one of 20 members of the Sox family proteins that play essential roles in cell differentiation, development, and organogenesis. SOX2, a group B Sox family protein, is one of the master transcriptional factors, along with Oct3/4 (Nichols, J., et al, 1998) and PAK6 (Kamachi, Y. et al, 2001) that are important in maintaining the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells, thus making SOX2 an excellent marker of neural stem cells. SOX2 has also been identified as a lineage-survival oncogene in lung and esophageal squamous cell carcinomas due to peak amplification on chromosome 3q26.33 which contains the SOX2 gene transcription factor (Bass, A.J., et al, 2009). Additionally, Sox2 has been reported to be highly deregulated in glioblastomas (Gangemi, R. M. R, et al, 2009) and breast cancer (Rodriguez-Pinilla, S.M., et al, 2007). |
