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 | CTRP4 Antibody: CTRP4, ZACRP4, CTRP4, Complement C1q tumor necrosis factor-related protein 4, C1q and tumor necrosis factor related protein 4 |
| Target/Specificity | C1QTNF4; These proteins are often highly modified post-translationally and migrate in SDS-PAGE at positions other than their predicted size. |
| Reconstitution & Storage | CTRP4 antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. |
| Precautions | CTRP4 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | C1QTNF4 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | CTRP4 |
| Function | May be involved in the regulation of the inflammatory network. Its role as pro- or anti-inflammatory seems to be context dependent (PubMed:21658842, PubMed:27086950). Seems to have some role in regulating food intake and energy balance when administered in the brain. This effect is sustained over a two-day period, and it is accompanied by decreased expression of orexigenic neuropeptides in the hypothalamus 3 hours post-injection (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Secreted. |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed at low levels (PubMed:21658842). Highest levels in adipocyte tissue and brain (PubMed:24366864) |

Background
CTRP4 Antibody: Adipose tissue of an organism plays a major role in regulating physiologic and pathologic processes such as metabolism and immunity by producing and secreting a variety of bioactive molecules termed adipokines. One highly conserved family of adipokines is adiponectin/ACRP30 and its structural and functional paralogs, the C1q/tumor necrosis factor-alpha-related proteins (CTRPs) 1-7. Unlike adiponectin, which is expressed exclusively by differentiated adipocytes, the CTRPs are expressed in a wide variety of tissues. These proteins are thought to act mainly on liver and muscle tissue to control glucose and lipid metabolism. An analysis of the crystal structure of adiponectin revealed a structural and evolutionary link between TNF and C1q-containing proteins, suggesting that these proteins arose from a common ancestral innate immunity gene. Multiple isoforms of mouse CTRP4 have been reported.
