About USP16

Cytogenetic location: 21q21.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 21:29,024,668-29,054,488 (from NCBI)

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]
