About USP3

Cytogenetic location: 15q22.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:63,504,593-63,594,633 (from NCBI)

This gene has 21 transcripts (splice variants), 200 orthologues and 71 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 9.8), spleen (RPKM 5.3) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

Enables histone binding activity and thiol-dependent Deubiquitinase. Involved in several processes, including DNA repair; histone deubiquitination; and regulation of protein stability. Located in several cellular components, including Flemming body; cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
