General annotation (Comments)

Function	Deubiquitinating enzyme that removes conjugated ubiquitin from specific proteins to regulate different cellular processes that may include cell proliferation, progression through the cell cycle, cell migration, and the cellular response to viral infection. Seems to be non-functional in the regulation of apoptosis. Ref.1
Catalytic activity	Thiol-dependent hydrolysis of ester, thioester, amide, peptide and isopeptide bonds formed by the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin (a 76-residue protein attached to proteins as an intracellular targeting signal). Ref.1
Subcellular location	Nucleus. Cytoplasm Ref.1.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the peptidase C19 family. USP17 subfamily.
Caution	The RS447 megasatellite DNA is a highly polymorphic conserved tandem repetitive sequence which contains a copy of the USP17 gene. It is present with an interindividual variation in copy number, ranging from 20 to 103, and can be found in the genome both on chromosome 4 and chromosome 8. The high similarity between the UPS17-like genes makes impossible to clearly assign data to one of the genes of the family. Oligonucleotides designed in RNAi experiments are for instance not specific of a given UPS17-like gene.
