Recombinant Human SUMO3/SMT3A Protein (aa 2-92, His Tag)

Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) ; also known as SUMO homologue and SMT3; is a member of the superfamily of ubiquitin-like polypeptides that become covalently attached to various intracellular target proteins as a way to alter their function; location; and/or half-life. Small ubiquitin-like modifiers include SUMO1; SUMO2; SUMO3; and SUMO4. Except for SUMO4; all other SUMOs are ubiquitously expressed; including in the brain. In human; SUMO2 and SUMO3 are two highly homologous proteins; collectively called SUMO2/3. Several studies suggest that SUMO3 are associated with pathogenesis in several neurological diseases; including Alzheimer's disease; Parkinson's disease; and cerebral ischemia/stroke.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
