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.

| Name | UPF2 (HGNC:17854) |
|---|---|
| Function | Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by associating with the nuclear exon junction complex (EJC). Recruited by UPF3B associated with the EJC core at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope and the subsequent formation of an UPF1-UPF2-UPF3 surveillance complex (including UPF1 bound to release factors at the stalled ribosome) is believed to activate NMD. In cooperation with UPF3B stimulates both ATPase and RNA helicase activities of UPF1. Binds spliced mRNA. |
| Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:A2AT37} |

Background
UPF2 is a protein that is part of apost-splicing multiprotein complex involved in both mRNA nuclearexport and mRNA surveillance. mRNA surveillance detects exportedmRNAs with truncated open reading frames and initiatesnonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). When translation ends upstreamfrom the last exon-exon junction, this triggers NMD to degrademRNAs containing premature stop codons. This protein is located inthe perinuclear area. It interacts with translation release factorsand the proteins that are functional homologs of yeast Upf1p andUpf3p.
