NCIt definition : A fusion protein encoded by the MESDC2/SENP1 fusion gene. This protein is comprised
of the signal peptide of the LDLR chaperone MESD protein, fused to all but the first
8 amino acids of the sentrin-specific protease 1 protein, including the nuclear localization
and protease domains.;
NCIt note : Sentrin-specific protease 1 cleaves SUMO-1 from target proteins. The MESDC2/SENP1
fusion protein retains this activity. (Hum. Mol. Genet. 2005; 14: 1955-1963.);
