Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of SUMO2 in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: SUMO proteins, such as SUMO3, and ubiquitin (see MIM 191339) posttranslationally modify numerous cellular proteins and affect their metabolism and function. However, unlike ubiquitination, which targets proteins for degradation, sumoylation participates in a number of cellular processes, such as nuclear transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and protein stability (Su and Li, 2002 [PubMed 12383504]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
