Biology:OTUD1

Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Generic protein structure example

OTU deubiquitinase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OTUD1 gene.

Function

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs; see MIM 603478) are proteases that specifically cleave ubiquitin (MIM 191339) linkages, negating the action of ubiquitin ligases. DUBA7 belongs to a DUB subfamily characterized by an ovarian tumor (OTU) domain.
