SUMO3 small ubiquitin like modifier 3

Gene ID: 6612, updated on 17-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SMT3A; Smt3B; SMT3H1; SUMO-3

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) family of eukaryotic proteins. The encoded protein is covalently conjugated to other proteins via a post-translation modification known as sumoylation. Sumoylation may play a role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct proteins have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
