Description

SENP5 encodes a member of the sentrin/SUMO-specific protease family. The encoded protein processes SUMO precursors and deconjugates SUMO from target proteins, playing a critical role in SUMOylation regulation, cell cycle progression, and mitochondrial dynamics.

Disease Associations

Protein Summary

SENP5 is a cysteine protease that removes SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier) from target proteins. It localizes to the nucleolus and mitochondria, regulating mitotic progression, ribosomal biogenesis, and mitochondrial fission. Its activity is essential for cell viability and is implicated in cancer development.
