Overview
This mAb is specific to SUMO-1 and shows no cross-reaction with either SUMO2 or SUMO3. The small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) proteins, which include SUMO1, SUMO2 and SUMO3, belong to the ubiquitin-like protein family. Like ubiquitin, the SUMO proteins are synthesized is precursor proteins that undergo processing before conjugation to target proteins. Also, both utilize the E1, E2, and E3 cascade enzymes for conjugation. However, SUMO and ubiquitin differ with respect to targeting. Ubiquitination predominantly targets proteins for degradation, whereas sumoylation targets proteins to a variety of cellular processing, including nuclear transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis and protein stability. The unconjugated SUMO1 protein localizes to the nuclear membrane.
This anti-SUMO-1 antibody is supplied as Purified (Mouse, Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone SPM571, Mouse IgG1, kappa, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: SUMO-1
- Format: Purified
- Localization: Predominantly nuclear with some cytoplasmic
- Species reactivity: Human
- Applications (listed): IHC-P
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Clone and antibody class: Monoclonal (mouse origin), clone SPM571, Mouse IgG1, kappa
Because antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.
Biological background
SUMO-1 is referenced in public gene/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context. When designing assays, consider potential isoforms, post-translational modifications, and cell-type specific expression that may influence observed signal.
Research relevance and current trends
- Profiling SUMO-1 expression across model systems, perturbations, and time points to support mechanistic hypotheses.
- Combining antibody-based detection with multi-omics or imaging readouts to link SUMO-1 signal with phenotype.
- Using well-matched controls (isotype controls, genetic perturbations, or independent reagents) to strengthen interpretation of target-associated signal.
Common research applications
- IHC-P
Use the listed applications as a starting point and tailor experimental design to your sample type and readout requirements.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity considerations: closely related family members, isoforms, or PTMs can affect apparent specificity; confirm with independent approaches when critical.
- Controls: include negative controls and, when feasible, genetic or pharmacologic perturbations to support target attribution in your system.
- Species and sample context: differences in sequence, expression, fixation, or extraction conditions can change signal behavior across models.
