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
Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are a family of secreted glycoproteins which act as mitogens primarily for vascular endothelial cells. VEGF-C (VEGF3) and VEGF-D (VEGF4) are recently identified members which share the conserved VEGF Homology Domain. They both have long N- and C-terminal propeptide extensions, and undergo proteolytic processing. Both VEGF-C and VEGF-D are widely expressed with highest expression in lymphnodes. The receptors VEGFR2 and VEGFR3 are expressed in vascular endothelial cells and lymphatic endothelial cells. VEGF-C and VEGFR3 are usually co-expressed at growing lymphatic endothelial cells. The VEGF-C/VEGFR3 signaling pathway has been shown to be crucial for lymphatic development. Recently increased expression of VEGF-C has been linked to a variety of human tumors and correlates with increased lymphatic density and lymph node metastasis.
