Summary: Predicted to enable thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Involved in cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to nerve growth factor stimulus; and regulation of protein catabolic process at postsynapse, modulating synaptic transmission. Located in cytosol and dendritic spine. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Colocalizes with early endosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Orthologous to human USP8 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

we identify USP8 as a key enzyme that regulates SHANK3 protein levels in neurons
Title: USP8 Deubiquitinates SHANK3 to Control Synapse Density and SHANK3 Activity-Dependent Protein Levels.
USP8 knockdown increases TrkA half-life, suggesting that the deubiquitinating activity of USP8 promotes TrkA degradation.
Title: The deubiquitinating enzyme UBPy/USP8 interacts with TrkA and inhibits neuronal differentiation in PC12 cells.
Homeostatic downscaling of synaptic strength is accompanied by an increase and decrease in Nedd4-1 and USP8 levels, respectively.
Title: Synaptic strength is bidirectionally controlled by opposing activity-dependent regulation of Nedd4-1 and USP8.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
