USP27X ubiquitin specific peptidase 27 X-linked

Gene ID: 389856, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: USP27; MRX105; USP22L; XLID105

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the peptidase protein family. The encoded protein functions as a deubiquitinase that is involved in upregulation of the pro-apoptotic Bim protein. This protein may act as a tumor suppressor by increasing levels of Bim to counteract anti-apoptotic signals in cancer cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
