Gene information for USP16 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10600
Official gene symbolUSP16
Full nameubiquitin specific peptidase 16
Aliases,UBP-M,
Gene summaryThis 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]
