Anti-SUMO-2 Antibody

SUMO2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SUMO2 gene. This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) protein family. It functions in a manner similar to ubiquitin in that it is bound to target proteins as part of a post-translational modification system. However, unlike ubiquitin which targets proteins for degradation, this protein is involved in a variety of cellular processes, such as nuclear transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, and protein stability. It is not active until the last two amino acids of the carboxy-terminus have been cleaved off. Numerous pseudogenes have been reported for this gene. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20^°C to -70^°C. The reconstituted antibody can be aliquotted and stored at 4^°C for 1 month or at -20^°C to -70^°C for many months without detectable loss of activity. Please avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
