Ulp1 peptidase (EC3.4.22.68, Smt3-protein conjugate proteinase, Ubl-specific protease 1, Ulp1, Ulp1 endopeptidase, Ulp1 protease) is an enzyme. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
The enzyme from Saccharomyces cerevisiae can also recognize small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 (SUMO-1) from human.
