Rabbit anti-Human SUMO3 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P55854

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SUMO3

Target Full Name

Small ubiquitin-related modifier 3

Target Function

Ubiquitin-like protein which can be covalently attached to target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Does not seem to be involved in protein degradation and may function as an antagonist of ubiquitin in the degradation process. Plays a role in a number of cellular processes such as nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis and signal transduction. Covalent attachment to its substrates requires prior activation by the E1 complex SAE1-SAE2 and linkage to the E2 enzyme UBE2I, and can be promoted by an E3 ligase such as PIAS1-4, RANBP2 or CBX4. Plays a role in the regulation of sumoylation status of SETX.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleus, PML body.

Target Protein Families

Ubiquitin family, SUMO subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed predominantly in liver.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) family of eukaryotic proteins. The encoded protein is covalently conjugated to other proteins via a post-translation modification known as sumoylation. Sumoylation may play a role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct proteins have been described.
