Protein attributes

Sequence length	530 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Functions in cell apoptosis. Cleaves ubiquitin fusion protein substrates. Ref.1
Catalytic activity	Ubiquitin C-terminal thioester + H2O = ubiquitin + a thiol. Ref.1
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Broadly expressed. Ref.1
Induction	Up-regulated by interleukin-4 and interleukin-6 (at protein level). 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 USP17. It is present with an interindividual variation in copy number and between 20 to 103 copies can be found in the genome both on chromosome 4 and chromosome 8.
