Product Description

SUMO protease, also known as Ulp, is a protease that specifically removes small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) in any recombinant SUMO fusion protein.Protease that catalyzes two essential functions in the SUMO pathway: processing of full-length SMT3 to its mature form and deconjugation of SMT3 from targeted proteins. Has an essential role in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Different from other tag removal proteases such as enterokinase (EK) and TEV which recognize a specific amino acid sequence and cut at a specific cleavage site, SUMO protease recognizes the SUMO tertiary structure and cleave it, more specifically and leaving no residual amino acids.
