Gene: SAE1
Alternate names for this Gene: AOS1|HSPC140|SUA1|UBLE1A
Gene Summary: Posttranslational modification of proteins by the addition of the small protein SUMO (see SUMO1; MIM 601912), or sumoylation, regulates protein structure and intracellular localization. SAE1 and UBA2 (MIM 613295) form a heterodimer that functions as a SUMO-activating enzyme for the sumoylation of proteins (Okuma et al., 1999 [PubMed 9920803]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2010].
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19q13.32
Description of this Gene: SUMO1 activating enzyme subunit 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
