USP16 - ubiquitin specific peptidase 16 Gene
Also Known as UBPM; UBP-M
Species: Homo sapiens
About USP16
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 71 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 20.1), testis (RPKM 16.3) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme that is phosphorylated at the onset of Mitosis and then dephosphorylated at the metaphase/anaphase transition. It can deubiquitinate H2A, one of two major ubiquitinated proteins of chromatin, in vitro and a mutant form of the protein was shown to block cell division. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
