SENP8 is a cysteine protease that is a member of the sentrin-specific protease family. This protein is involved in processing and deconjugation of the ubiquitin-like protein termed, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 8(NEDD8). Purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-212 of human SENP8, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E.coli.
