OTUB2
Function
Hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins in vitro and may therefore play an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. Mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-11'-,'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains, with a preference for 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the peptidase C65 family.
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in brain.
Alternative names
