IRE1 alpha and ER Stress: Keys to Disease Progression Pathways

Inositol Requiring Enzyme 1 alpha (IRE1 alpha) is a transmembrane-RNase with an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) luminal sensor domain and cytosolic kinase and ribonuclease domains. IRE1 also plays a central role in the ER stress response (1).

CIP2A: The Cancerous Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase 2A

CENPF Antibodies as Potential Cancer Markers

Centromere protein F (CENPF), also named mitosin, is a large human protein of 3113 amino acid residues. Its expression and localization are cell cycle-dependent. The protein levels are low in G1 phase but elevated from S to early M phase. CENPF is a nuclear matrix protein in interphase but is relocated to the kinetochore, the major site of microtubule attachment on chromosome, in M phase (1).

FOXP3: Master Regulatory Transcriptional Factor

FOXP3, a forkhead family transcription factor specially expressed in regulatory T (Treg) cells, controls the expression of many key immune-regulatory genes. Treg cells are a population of T lymphocytes that have critical roles in the immune system homeostasis and tolerance to self and foreign antigens, the body's response to cancer and infectious agents.

Beclin 1: Regulator of Autophagy and Apoptosis

Beclin 1 is the mammalian orthologue of the yeast Apg6/Vps30 gene. Beclin 1 can complement the defect in autophagy present in apg6 yeast strains and stimulate autophagy when overexpressed in mammalian cells (1) and can bind to Bcl2, an important regulator of apoptosis (2) suggesting a role in two fundamentally important cellular pathways: autophagy and apoptosis.

Calreticulin: a Multiprocess Calcium Buffering Chaperone

Calreticulin is a Calcium binding chaperone that has multiple functions both inside and outside the endoplasmic reticulum. Calreticulin is involved in the quality control of newly synthesized proteins and glycoproteins, interacting with various other ER chaperones, specifically Calnexin.

Carbonic Anhydrase IX Roles in Tumor Growth, Survival and Invasion

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) is a membrane-associated carbonic anhydrase, strongly induced by hypoxia. CA IX is overexpressed by several cancer cells from many tumor types, and is a component of the pH regulatory system invoked by these cells to combat the deleterious effects of a high rate of glycolytic metabolism.

ADFP and Lipid Storage Disease

Adipocyte differentiation-related protein (ADFP) is found on the surface of lipid droplets in most mammalian cell types. In mammals, lipid droplets are most abundant in adipose tissue, where stored triacylglycerol (TAG) provides the primary energy reserve for the organism. Lipid droplets in steroidogenic cells contain cholesteryl esters used in the synthesis of steroid hormones. Most other mammalian cells contain smaller lipid droplets, whose function remains unclear.

CD11b/CD18 and Neutrophil-Epithelial Interactions as Targets for Anti-Inflammatory Therapies

The beta-2 integrins, a family of four cell surface transmembrane glycoproteins expressed only on leukocytes, include CD11a/CD18, CD11b/CD18, CD11c/CD18, and CD11d/CD18. They consist of a common beta subunit (CD18) and homologous alpha subunits (CD11a-d) that bind noncovalently to form an alpha/beta heterodimer.

Myc-tag: The "Monkey Wrench" of Proteomic Tools

c-Myc is a well-characterized transcription factor encoded by the c-Myc gene on human chromosome 8q24. This cellular proto-oncogene, also known as p62, is commonly activated in a variety of tumor cells and plays a crucial role in cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and cell cycle progression.
