SENP1, Official Symbol SENP1provided by HGNC Official Full Name SUMO specific peptidase 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17927 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000079387 MIM:612157; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17927 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as SuPr-2 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.
