SUMO2, HSMT3, SMT3 homolog 2, SMT3A, Sentrin 2, Smt3B, SMT3H2, SUMO-2, SUMO-3, Sentrin-2, Ubiquitin-like protein SMT3A, Ubiquitin-like protein SMT3B.
Small ubiquitin-related modifier 1, 2 and 3 (SUMO-1, -2 and -3) are members of the ubiquitin-like protein family. The covalent attachment of the SUMO-1, -2 or -3 (SUMOylation) to target proteins is analogous to ubiquitination. This post-translational modification is a reversible, multi-step process that is initiated by cleaving a precursor protein to a mature protein.
