Gene: SENP1

Alternate names for this Gene: SuPr-2

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12q13.11

Description of this Gene: SUMO specific peptidase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
