Primary Identifier | MGI:1923076 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 75826 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables deSUMOylase activity. Involved in fat cell differentiation and protein desumoylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic placenta development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of cell cycle process. Located in nuclear body. Colocalizes with PML body. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; central nervous system; early embryo; extraembryonic component; and retina. Orthologous to human SENP2 (SUMO specific peptidase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are embryonic lethal due to placental defects resulting from abnormal trophoblast maturation.
