About SUMO3
This gene encodes a member of the small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) family of eukaryotic proteins. The encoded protein is covalently conjugated to other proteins via a post-translation modification known as sumoylation. Sumoylation may play a role in a wide variety of cellular processes, including nuclear transport, DNA replication and repair, mitosis, transcriptional regulation, and signal transduction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct proteins have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

About Fluorescein
Fluorescein is an organic fluorophore first synthesized by Aldolf Bayer in 1871. FITC, an amine-reactive derivative, is also a commonly used name for this dye. It has an excitation peak at 494 nm and an emission peak at 512 nm.
