Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; potassium channel regulator activity; and protein tag activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of cardiac muscle cell contraction; regulation of protein stability; and roof of mouth development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including PML body organization; protein localization to nuclear pore; and protein sumoylation. Located in XY body and nuclear body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic cytosol; and presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; eye; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofacial cleft 10. Orthologous to human SUMO1 (small ubiquitin like modifier 1).
