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.

| Other Names | Membrane cofactor protein, TLX, Trophoblast leukocyte common antigen, CD46, MCP, MIC10 |
| Target/Specificity | CD46 is a complement regulatory protein that is also called membrane cofactor protein. This protein is a type 1 membrane protein that plays an important inhibitory role in the complement system. CD46 exhibits a cofactor activity that promotes inactivation of C3b and C4b by serum factor 1, thereby protecting host cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity. CD46 can also function as a receptor for selected bacteria and viruses, and is reportedly required for proper fusion of spermatozoa to the oocyte membrane during fertilization. CD46 is overexpressed in medulloblastoma tumors, and CD46 expression has been linked with poor prognosis in breast cancer. The upregulation of CD46 may protect cancer cells from complement-dependent cytotoxicity to facilitate cancer cell immune evasion. |
| Format | Protein G Purified |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Precautions | Anti-CD46 (Extracellular region) Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
