UFM1 Proteins and Enzymes

Human Ubiquitin-fold Modifier 1 (UFM1), also known as BM-002, is an 85 amino acid (aa) member of the Ubiquitin-like protein family that has a predicted molecular weight of 9.1 kDa. Human and mouse UFM1 share 100% aa sequence identity and are primarily localized in the nucleus, but can also be detected in the cytoplasm and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). ER localization of UFM1 appears to be dependent on the co-expression of UFBP1. Initially expressed as an inactive precursor, UFM1 undergoes ...
