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
Biliverdin Reductase (BVR) is a cytoplasmic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of biliverdin to bilirubin by converting a double bond between the second and third pyrrole ring into a single bond (1). It is ubiqutiously expressed in all tissues- it occurs in cells and brain regiuons that already display HO-1 and HO-2, but also in regions and cell types with potential to induce stress proteins. It is unique among all enzymes in having two pH optima, using a different cofactor at each pH range, NADH at pH7.0 and NADPH at pH8.7 (2). It is not inactivated by heat shock, and have shown to abate inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis (3).
