Gene: USP1
Alternate names for this Gene: UBP
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin-specific processing (UBP) family of proteases that is a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) with His and Cys domains. This protein is located in the cytoplasm and cleaves the ubiquitin moiety from ubiquitin-fused precursors and ubiquitinylated proteins. The protein specifically deubiquitinates a protein in the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p31.3
Description of this Gene: ubiquitin specific peptidase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
