SUMO2/3 Antibody (C-term)
Purified Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Pab)

Catalog # Source: Lot # Size:
AP1224a Rabbit SH020709C 0.1 mg
Concentration: Accession: Clone Name: Isotype:
0.25 mg/ml P61956, P55854 RB0635 Rabbit Ig
Applications: Reactivity: MW (kDa):
WB, IHC, E H, M 11637 Da
Target/Specificity:
This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected within C-terminal region of human SUMO2/3.
Other Names:
Small ubiquitin-like modifier; Ubiquitin-like protein SMT3B; Sentrin 2; HSMT3
Application Data:

TOP: The anti-SUMO2/3 C-term Pab (Cat. #AP1224a) is used in Western blot to detect SUMO2/3 in HeLa cell lysate. BOTTOM: COS-7 cells were transfected for 24 hrs with a plasmid expressing FLAG-ERM (left panels) or FLAG-ERM KR12345 (right panels). Untreated (-) and H2O2-treated (+) cells were collected for immunoblot analysis. Top panels: cell lysates probed by western blot (WB) with an anti-ERM antibody. Center panels: cell lysates immunoprecipitated (IP) with an anti-FLAG antibody followed by WB with AP1222a SUMO-1 antibody. Bottom panels: cell lysates immunoprecipitated with an anti-FLAG antibody followed by WB with AP1224a SUMO-2/3 antibody. (*) represents immunoprecipitated ERM-like forms recognized by anti-SUMO antibodies.

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.

Background:
SUMO2 and SUMO3 are members of the SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) protein family. This protein family 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. In vertebrates, three members of the SUMO family have been described, SUMO 1 and the functionally distinct homologues SUMO 2 and SUMO 3. SUMO modification sites present in the N terminal regions of SUMO 2 and SUMO 3 are utilized by SAE1/SAE2 (SUMO E1) and Ubc9 (SUMO E2) to form polymeric chains of SUMO 2 and SUMO 3 on protein substrates, a property not shared by SUMO 1.
