Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 9958
Gene name Ubiquitin specific peptidase 15
Gene symbol USP15
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
UNPH-2UNPH4
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q14.1
Summary This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin specific protease (USP) family of deubiquitinating enzymes. USP enzymes play critical roles in ubiquitin-dependent processes through polyubiquitin chain disassembly and hydrolysis of ubiquitin-substrate bonds. T
