Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 54

UniProtKB accession:  Q70EL1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Deubiquitinase that specifically mediates 'Lys-63'-linked deubiquitination of substrates with a polyubiquitin chain composed of at least 3 ubiquitins (PubMed:39587316). Specifically recognizes ubiquitin chain in position S2 and catalyzes cleavage of polyubiquitin within 'Lys-63'-linked chains (PubMed:39587316). Not able to deubiquitinate substrates with shorter ubiquitin chains (PubMed:39587316). Mediates deubiquitination of PLK4, maintaining PLK4 stability by reducing its ubiquitination-mediated degradation (PubMed:36590171).
