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 | AFDN (HGNC:7137) |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | AF6, MLLT4 |
| Function | Belongs to an adhesion system, probably together with the E- cadherin-catenin system, which plays a role in the organization of homotypic, interneuronal and heterotypic cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs) (By similarity). Nectin- and actin-filament-binding protein that connects nectin to the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:11024295). May play a key role in the organization of epithelial structures of the embryonic ectoderm (By similarity). Essential for the organization of adherens junctions (PubMed:30463011). |
| Cellular Location | Cell junction, adherens junction. Note=Not found at cell-matrix AJs {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O35889} |

Background
Most acute leukemias in infancy and at least 5% of acute lymphoblastic leukemias and acute myeloid leukemias of older children and adults show abnormalities of chromosome band 11q23. In these cases, translocation results in fusion of a gene at 11q23, variously called ALL1, MLL, and the human homolog of Drosophila trithorax, with part of a gene on chromosome 4, chromosome 9, or chromosome 19. The cloning and characterization of the partner gene involved in a fourth common translocation involving 11q23, t(6;11)(q27;q23) has been described. The gene, designated MLLT4 or alternatively AF6, expressed in a variety of cell types and encoded a protein of 1,612 amino acids. The protein contains short stretches rich in proline, charged amino acids, serines, or glutamines. In addition, the AF6 protein contains the GLGF motif shared with several proteins of vertebrates and invertebrates thought to be involved in signal transduction at special cell-cell junctions. Using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) by PCR, the breakpoint in AF6 was confirmed and a cDNA clone that was used as a probe to screen a chromosome 6 cosmid library was identified. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, the single clone that was isolated was found to map distal to the critically deleted region associated with ovarian malignancies. AF6 is therefore distinct from and lies telomeric to that region.
