Senp3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination and protein desumoylation. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and heart. Orthologous to human SENP3 (SUMO specific peptidase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Senp3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
