USP44 ubiquitin specific peptidase 44

Gene ID: 84101, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a protease that functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme. The encoded protein is thought to help regulate the spindle assembly checkpoint by preventing early anaphase onset. This protein specifically deubiquitinates CDC20, which stabilizes the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
