SENP1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
SENP1 
Aliases
 
Common name
SUMO specific peptidase 1 
Entrez Id
29843
Description
This gene encodes a cysteine protease that specifically targets members of the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) protein family. This protease regulates SUMO pathways by deconjugating sumoylated proteins. This protease also functions to process the precursor SUMO proteins into their mature form. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2012].
