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 Descriptions | NPW is a 165 amino acid secreted protein that is cleaved into two chains: neuropeptide W-23 (also designated NPW23 or L8) and neuropeptide W-30 (also known as NPW30 or L8C). Both NPW neuropeptides activate G-protein coupled receptors in the central nervous system to enhance cortisol secretion. Highly expressed in lymphoblastic leukemia, colorectal adenocarcinoma, fetal kidney, trachea and substantia nigra, NPW is also found at low levels in placenta, ovary, testis and uterus. NPW functions in organization of neuroendocrine signals and is also thought to enhance food and water intake as well as stress responses. The gene encoding NPW maps to human chromosome 16p13.3. |

| Other Names | Neuropeptide W, Preproprotein L8, hPPL8, Neuropeptide W-23, NPW23, hL8, Neuropeptide W-30, NPW30, hL8C, NPW, PPL8, PPNPW |
| Target/Specificity | Detected at high levels in the substantia nigra, fetal kidney and trachea; at lower levels in testis, uterus, ovary and placenta. Not detectable in many regions of the central nervous system. Also detected at high levels in lymphoblastic leukemia and colorectal adenocarcinoma. |
| Dilution | IHC-P=1:100-500,IHC-F=1:100-500,ICC=1:100-500,IF=1:100-500,ELISA=1:5000-10000 |

| Name | NPW |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | PPL8, PPNPW |
| Function | Plays a regulatory role in the organization of neuroendocrine signals accessing the anterior pituitary gland. Stimulates water drinking and food intake. May play a role in the hypothalamic response to stress (By similarity). NPW23 activates GPR7 and GPR8 more efficiently than NPW30. |
| Cellular Location | Secreted |
| Tissue Location | Detected in cerebrospinal fluid and urine (at protein level) (PubMed:25326458, PubMed:36213313, PubMed:37453717) Detected at high levels in the substantia nigra, fetal kidney and trachea; at lower levels in testis, uterus, ovary and placenta. Not detectable in many regions of the central nervous system. Also detected at high levels in lymphoblastic leukemia and colorectal adenocarcinoma |
