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 | ASCL2 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | BHLHA45, HASH2 |
| Function | Transcription factor. Binds to E-box motifs 5'-CANNTG-3' in the regulatory elements of target genes, probably as a heterodimer with another basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein such as the transcription factor TCF3. May bind both open and closed chromatin, acting as a pioneer transcription factor to allow other factors to bind and activate lineage-specific genes. Required during post-implantation development for the generation of some differentiated trophoblast cell types. Transcriptional activity of ASCL2 may be antagonised in a subset of trophoblast cells by bHLH transcription factor HAND1, perhaps by competing for dimerization with other bHLH proteins. Involved in differentiation and function of follicular T-helper (Tfh) cells, thereby playing a role in germinal center responses; probably modulates expression of genes involved in Tfh cell function, such as BCL6. May also act as a suppressor of Th1-, Th2- and Th17-cell differentiation. Induces the formation of stem cells in intestinal crypts in vitro, synergistically activating transcription of target genes, such as SOX9, together with TCF4/beta-catenin. May form a bistable transcriptional switch, controlling expression of its own gene together with Wnt/R- spondin signaling, and thereby maintaining stem cell characteristics (By similarity). Modulates expression of target genes, including perhaps down-regulating EGR1/Krox24 and chemokine CXCL10/Mob-1 and up- regulating CXCR4 and CDKN1C/p57kip2, in Schwann cells. May play a role in reducing proliferation of Schwann cells, perhaps acting via modulation of expression of CDKN1C (By similarity). May be dispensable for blastocyst formation and later embryonic function (By similarity). May be involved in the determination of neuronal precursors (By similarity). |

| Tissue Location | Expressed in the placenta at a stage between the first and second trimesters and when it matures, at about 32-36 weeks (PubMed:12099555). Expressed in the extravillous trophoblasts, the intermediate trophoblasts, and at lower levels in the cytotrophoblasts and stroma of chorionic villi of the developing placenta (PubMed:9175731, PubMed:12099555). Expressed in follicular T-helper (Tfh) cells (PubMed:24463518). |

Background
This gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (BHLH)family of transcription factors. It activates transcription bybinding to the E box (5'-CANNTG-3'). Dimerization with other BHLHproteins is required for efficient DNA binding. Involved in thedetermination of the neuronal precursors in the peripheral nervoussystem and the central nervous system.
