Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 9101
Gene name Ubiquitin specific peptidase 8
Gene symbol USP8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HumORF8PITA4SPG59UBPY
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q21.2
Summary This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the ubiquitin-specific processing protease family of proteins. The encoded protein is thought to regulate the morphology of the endosome by ubiquitination of proteins on this organelle and is involved in cargo s

Protein name Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 8 (EC 3.4.19.12) (Deubiquitinating enzyme 8) (Ubiquitin isopeptidase Y) (hUBPy) (Ubiquitin thioesterase 8) (Ubiquitin-specific-processing protease 8)
Protein function Hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins and therefore plays an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. Converts both 'Lys-48' an 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains. Catalytic activ
