General description
The SUMO-1 (small ubiquitin-like modifier 1) gene is mapped to human chromosome 2q33.1 and is highly conserved. The protein structure includes an α-helix core surrounded by four-stranded β-sheets.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid 1-16 located at the N-terminus of human SUMO-1, conjugated to KLH. The sequence is identical in many species including mouse, rat, dog, bovine, and highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in chicken and Xenopus SUMO-1. It is not found in human SUMO-2 and SUMO-3.
Application
Anti-SUMO-1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting assay.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions
SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) proteins are associated with a number of cellular processes. SUMOylation mediated by SUMO1 is involved in nuclear transport mechanism, apoptosis, regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 and protein stability. SUMO1 regulates tumor suppressor p53 protein, a transcription factor that is termed as the “guardian of the genome” plays a key role in the cell cycle events. Unlike ubiquitination which directs proteins for degradation, SUMOylation aims to alter the stability, localization and the function of the target protein.
