Homo sapiens

Gene ID: 84101 | Gene type: protein coding

About USP44

Cytogenetic location: 12q22 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:95,516,560-95,551,681 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues, 71 paralogues and is associated with 61 phenotypes. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 9.0), lung (RPKM 1.3) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a protease that functions as a deubiquitinating Enzyme. The encoded protein is thought to help regulate the spindle assembly checkpoint by preventing early anaphase onset. This protein specifically deubiquitinates CDC20, which stabilizes the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
