Applications: Useful for removal of SUMO-tags from recombinant SUMO fusion proteins
Background: SUMO Protease 2, a highly active and robust recombinant protease, cleaves hSUMO3 from recombinant fusion proteins. Unlike thrombin, EK, or TEV protease, which recognize short, linear sequences, SUMO Protease 2 recognizes the tertiary structure of huSUMO3. As a result, SUMO Protease 2 will not cleave within the fused protein of interest.
