Sentrin-specific protease 5 (SENP5)

Protease which catalyzes two essential functions in the SUMO pathway: processing of full-length SUMO3 to its mature form and deconjugation of SUMO2 and SUMO3 from proteins that are targeted. Has weak proteolytic action against full-length SUMO1 or SUMO1 conjugates.

Required for cell division. .
