OverviewNCBI Gene

The reversible posttranslational modification of proteins by the addition of small ubiquitin-like SUMO proteins (see SUMO1; MIM 601912) is required for numerous biologic processes. SUMO-specific proteases, such as SENP5, are responsible for the initial processing of SUMO precursors to generate a C-terminal diglycine motif required for the conjugation reaction. They also have isopeptidase activity for the removal of SUMO from high molecular mass SUMO conjugates (Di Bacco et al., 2006 [PubMed 16738315]).[supplied by OMIM, Jun 2009]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against SENP5 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads SENP5 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against SENP5 could matter depends on whether native SENP5 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

SENP5 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label SENP5 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
