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 | MXRA8 is a 442 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that is implicated in the maintenance and maturation of the blood-brain barrier. Containing two Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, MXRA8 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms that are encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 1p36.33. Human chromosome 1 spans 260 million base pairs, contains over 3,000 genes and comprises nearly 8% of the human genome. Chromosome 1 houses a large number of disease-associated genes, including those that are involved in familial adenomatous polyposis, Stickler syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Gaucher disease, schizophrenia and Usher syndrome. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers, including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma |

|---|---|
| Function | Transmembrane protein which can modulate activity of various signaling pathways, probably via binding to integrin ITGAV:ITGB3 (PubMed:22492581, PubMed:23386276). Mediates heterophilic cell-cell interactions in vitro (By similarity). Inhibits osteoclastogenesis downstream of TNFSF11/RANKL and CSF1, where it may function by attenuating signaling via integrin ITGB3 and MAP kinase p38 (By similarity). Plays a role in cartilage formation where it promotes proliferation and maturation of growth plate chondrocytes (By similarity). Stimulates formation of primary cilia in chondrocytes (By similarity). Enhances expression of genes involved in the hedgehog signaling pathway in chondrocytes, including the hedgehog signaling molecule IHH; may also promote signaling via the PTHLH/PTHrP pathway (By similarity). Plays a role in angiogenesis where it suppresses migration of endothelial cells and also promotes their apoptosis (PubMed:23386276). Inhibits VEGF-induced activation of AKT and p38 MAP kinase in endothelial cells (PubMed:23386276). Also inhibits VTN (vitronectin)-mediated integrin ITGAV:ITGB3 signaling and activation of PTK2/FAK (PubMed:23386276). May play a role in the maturation and maintenance of the blood-brain barrier (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBV4}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBV4}. Cell projection, cilium membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBV4}. Nucleus Note=Primarily localizes to the cell membrane (PubMed:23386276) Detected in the cilium of primary chondrocytes (By similarity). Highly expressed at areas of cell-cell contact and may localize to tight junctions (By similarity). Also found in the nucleus where it is detected in the soluble (as opposed to chromatin-bound) fraction (PubMed:23386276). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBV4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23386276} |
| Tissue Location | Detected in endothelial cells in mammary tissue, in both large vessels (left internal mammary artery) and small capillaries (vasa vasorum of the adventitia). |
