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.

| Reconstitution & Storage | VPS39 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 | VPS39 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
| Name | VPS39 (HGNC:20593) |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | KIAA0770, TLP, VAM6 |
| Function | Regulator of TGF-beta/activin signaling, inhibiting SMAD3- and activating SMAD2-dependent transcription. Acts by interfering with SMAD3/SMAD4 complex formation, this would lead to inhibition of SMAD3-dependent transcription and relieve SMAD3 inhibition of SMAD2-dependent promoters, thus increasing SMAD2- dependent transcription. Does not affect TGF-beta-induced SMAD2 or SMAD3 phosphorylation, nor SMAD2/SMAD4 complex formation. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Lysosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Late endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Colocalizes with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 in cytoplasmic vesicular structures and most prominently in cortical vesicles. |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed, with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, brain, placenta and spleen |

Background
VPS39 Antibody: VPS39 is the mammalian homolog of the yeast vacuolar protein VAM6, that in mammals, promotes lysosome clustering and fusion in vivo. VPS39 is also thought to modulate the TGF-beta response by coupling the TGF-beta receptor complex to the Smad pathway. Similar to the related protein TRAP1, the VPS39 protein is essential for early embryonic development, with mice lacking VPS39 dying at or before E6.5.
