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 | GPI-anchored cell membrane protein involved in Nodal signaling. Cell-associated CRIPTO acts as a Nodal coreceptor in cis. Shedding of CRIPTO by TMEM8A modulates Nodal signaling by allowing soluble CRIPTO to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells (PubMed:27881714). Could play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm (PubMed:11909953). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor. Secreted. Note=Released from the cell membrane by GPI cleavage. |
| Tissue Location | Preferentially expressed in gastric and colorectal carcinomas than in their normal counterparts. Expressed in breast and lung. |

Background
The human cDNA for CRIPTO (TDGF1), isolated from a teratocarcinoma cell line, encodes a protein of 188 amino acids. The central section has structural similarities with the human transforming growth factor alpha and epidermal growth factor (EGF). CRIPTO transcripts are detected only in undifferentiated cells and disappear after cell differentiation induced by retinoic acid treatment. The EGF-CFC (Cripto, Frl1, and Cryptic) gene family has an important role in vertebrate development. Cripto is required for germ-layer formation and the correct positioning of the anterior-posterior axis in mic; Cryptic (CFC1) is necessary for assignment of the left-right axis. Prior to gastrulation, Cripto expression is initially symmetric and uniform in the epiblast, and then becomes asymmetric in a proximal-distal gradient. Cripto gene when rendered inactive is fatal in the murine model. Cripto and Cryptic are essential cofactors for Nodal family proteins, which transduce signals for mesoderm development. Cryptic protein is required for appropriate symmetry development in humans. TDGF1, like CFC1, is an EGF-CFC family member and required coreceptor in NODAL signaling, a developmental program implicated in midline, forebrain, and left-right axis development in model organisms. A mutation in the conserved CFC domain of the TDGF1 gene has been identified in a patient with midline anomalies of the forebrain. The mutant protein was inactive in a zebrafish rescue assay.
