Background
MIA2 performs as a tumour suppressor in hepatocellular carcinoma. MIA2 is a novel acute phase protein which its expression is found in the liver and reacts to liver damage in chronic liver diseases and is considerably higher in severe fibrosis patients . MIA2 is induced by IL6, TGF- and conditioned medium from activated hepatic stellate cells. MIA2 is is mainly expressed in hepatocytes. MIA2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain consisting of 101 amino having a total molecular mass of 11.5 kDa. The MIA2 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

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.
