USP36 ubiquitin specific peptidase 36

Gene ID: 57602, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DUB1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase C19 or ubiquitin-specific protease family of cysteine proteases. Members of this family remove ubiquitin molecules from polyubiquitinated proteins. The encoded protein may deubiquitinate and stabilize the transcription factor c-Myc, also known as MYC, an important oncoprotein known to be upregulated in most human cancers. The encoded protease may also regulate the activation of autophagy. This gene exhibits elevated expression in some breast and lung cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
