General description

Sentrin-specific protease 1 (EC 3.4.22.68; UniProt Q9P0U3; also known as Sentrin/SUMO-specific protease SENP1) is encoded by the SENP1 gene (Gene ID 29843) in human. SUMOylation, protein posttranslation modification by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO), is a signaling event in many cellular processes. As is the case with ubiquitination, SUMOylation is a reversible process. SUMO E1 activating enzyme, E2 conjugating enzyme, and E3 ligase mediate SUMOylation of substrate proteins, while a family of SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs) are responsible for the deSUMOylation. Seven SENPs are identified in human (SENP1-3 and SENP5-8). SENP1 processes full-length SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3 to their mature forms and mediates their removal (deconjugation) from substrate proteins, including BHLHE40/DEC1, CCAR2, CLOCK, DBC1, HADC1, HIPK2, MTA1, p53, and SIRT1. SENP1 is reported to be overexpressed and induced by IL-6 in multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and SENP1-knockdown triggers apoptosis and reduces viability, proliferation and colony forming ability of MM cells.

Immunogen

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HepG2 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:2,000 dilution of this antibody detected SENP1 in 10 µg of HepG2 cell lysate.

Specificity

Expected to react with both spliced isoforms of human SENP1 reported by UniProt (Q9P0U3).

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at -20°C from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
