NEDP1 [SENP8] (human) (rec.) (His)

NEDP1 is a deconjugating enzyme with specificity towards NEDDylated substrates. NEDP1 discriminates between ubiquitinated and NEDDylated targets, despite similar C-terminal regions. NEDP1 is a protease which hydrolyzes the isopeptide bond between the C-terminus of NEDD8 and the respective lysine of the substrate protein to which the NEDD8 is covalently bound. NEDP1 is important in regulating cullin associated ubiquitin ligase enzymes such as those of the SCF (Skp-Cullin-Fbox) family and subsequently, it is important in regulating cell cycle progression and other biological functions.
