SEM1
gene of the species Homo sapiens

26S proteasome complex subunit SEM1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEM1 gene (previously SHFM1). In yeast biology and general proteasome nomenclature, it is referred to as Rpn15 (Regulatory Particle Non-ATPase subunit 15).
Function
The product of this gene has been localized within the split hand/split foot malformation locus SHFM1 at chromosome 7. It has been proposed to be a candidate gene for the autosomal dominant form of the heterogeneous limb developmental disorder split hand/split foot malformation type 1. In addition, it has been shown to directly interact with BRCA2. It also may play a role in the completion of the cell cycle.
Interactions
SHFM1 has been shown to interact with BRCA2.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “SEM1” as gene of the species Homo sapiens. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as gene of the species Homo sapiens. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18032686. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
- Current terminology
- Classification context
- Finding cited technical literature
Primary datasets, specimen catalogues, standards bodies and the most recent peer-reviewed literature.
Three-step research path
- Establish the record: confirm the title “SEM1”, its source revision and the description used here.
- Expand the search: follow SEM1 primary sources, SEM1 archive and SEM1 research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
- Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.
Questions for further research
- Which source most directly establishes the central claim about “SEM1”?
- Which observation, specimen, dataset or publication supports the account?
- Is the terminology current, historical or disputed?
