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.

| Function | Regulator of the Hippo signaling pathway, also known as the Salvador-Warts-Hippo (SWH) pathway (PubMed:24682284). Enhances phosphorylation of LATS1 and YAP1 and negatively regulates cell proliferation and organ growth due to a suppression of the transcriptional activity of YAP1, the major effector of the Hippo pathway (PubMed:24682284). Along with NF2 can synergistically induce the phosphorylation of LATS1 and LATS2 and function in the regulation of Hippo signaling pathway (PubMed:20159598). Acts as a transcriptional coactivator of ESR1 which plays an essential role in DYNLL1-mediated ESR1 transactivation (PubMed:16684779). Regulates collagen-stimulated activation of the ERK/MAPK cascade (PubMed:18190796). Modulates directional migration of podocytes (PubMed:18596123). Plays a role in cognition and memory performance (PubMed:18672031). Plays an important role in regulating AMPA-selective glutamate receptors (AMPARs) trafficking underlying synaptic plasticity and learning (By similarity). |

Background
The WW and C2 domain containing 1 (WWC1) protein, also known as KIBRA, possesses two WW domains and an internal C2-like domain (1). WWC1 was originally identified as a memory performance-associated protein in humans (2) and has recently been shown to be a novel regulator of the Hippo pathway (3). WWC1 is phosphorylated by the mitotic kinases Aurora-A and –B (4), and in turn activates the Aurora kinases and is required for precise chromosome alignment during mitosis (5).
