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.

| DISEASE | Microphthalmia, isolated, with coloboma, 7 (MCOPCB7) [MIM:614497]: A disorder of eye formation, ranging from small size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissues. Ocular abnormalities like opacities of the cornea and lens, scaring of the retina and choroid, cataract and other abnormalities like cataract may also be present. Ocular colobomas are a set of malformations resulting from abnormal morphogenesis of the optic cup and stalk, and the fusion of the fetal fissure (optic fissure). Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. |

| Background Descriptions | The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation. This half-transporter likely plays a role in mitochondrial function. Localized to 2q26, this gene is considered a candidate gene for lethal neonatal metabolic syndrome, a disorder of mitochondrial function. |

| Name | ABCB6 (HGNC:47) |

| Function | ATP-dependent transporter that catalyzes the transport of a broad-spectrum of porphyrins from the cytoplasm to the extracellular space through the plasma membrane or into the vesicle lumen (PubMed:17661442, PubMed:23792964, PubMed:27507172, PubMed:33007128). May also function as an ATP-dependent importer of porphyrins from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria, in turn may participate in the de novo heme biosynthesis regulation and in the coordination of heme and iron homeostasis during phenylhydrazine stress (PubMed:10837493, PubMed:17006453, PubMed:23792964, PubMed:33007128). May also play a key role in the early steps of melanogenesis producing PMEL amyloid fibrils (PubMed:29940187). In vitro, it confers to cells a resistance to toxic metal such as arsenic and cadmium and against chemotherapeutics agent such as 5-fluorouracil, SN-38 and vincristin (PubMed:21266531, PubMed:25202056, PubMed:31053883). In addition may play a role in the transition metal homeostasis (By similarity). |

Note=Present in the membrane of mature erythrocytes and in exosomes released from reticulocytes during the final steps of erythroid maturation (PubMed:22655043). Traffics from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi during its glycans's maturation, therefrom is first targeted to the plasma membrane, and is rapidly internalized through endocytosis to be distributed to the limiting membrane of multivesicular bodies and lysosomes (PubMed:18279659, PubMed:21199866, PubMed:25627919). Localized on the limiting membrane of early melanosomes of pigment cells (PubMed:29940187).
