USP9X ubiquitin specific peptidase 9 X-linked

Gene ID: 8239, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FAF; FAM; hFAM; DFFRX; FAF-X; MRX99; XLID99; MRXS99F

Summary

This gene is a member of the peptidase C19 family and encodes a protein that is similar to ubiquitin-specific proteases. Though this gene is located on the X chromosome, it escapes X-inactivation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Turner syndrome. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
