Small ubiquitin-related modifier 4

The SUMO4 gene encodes a regulator of ubiquitination, in particular of proteins associated with NF-kappa-B signaling. It plays therefore a significant role in inflammation and immune regulation. Genetic variants are associated with susceptibility to type 1 diabetes.
