SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifiers) Protease 1 (Ulp1, Ubl-specific protease 1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a highly active cysteine protease. It is highly specific as it recognizes the tertiary structure of the ubiquitin-like (UBL) protein, SUMO (Smt3), rather than its amino acid sequence. SUMO fusion tag, an N-terminal fusion partner, has been shown to enhance functional protein production in prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems with significantly improved protein stability and solubility. BioVision's EZCut? SUMO Protease 1 Agarose is prepared by covalent coupling of SUMO Protease 1 to activated 4% cross-linked agarose beads. EZCut? SUMO Protease 1 Agarose Beads are designed for efficient cleavage of recombinant
