Entrez gene ID7345
Official gene symbolUCHL1
Full nameubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (ubiquitin thiolesterase)
Aliases,PARK5,PGP 9.5,PGP9.5,PGP95,Uch-L1,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the peptidase C12 family. This enzyme is a thiol protease that hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. This gene is specifically expressed in the neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Parkinson disease.
