Ubiquitin specific peptidase 10, also known as USP10, is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the USP10 gene.[1]

Contents

Function

Ubiquitin is a highly conserved protein that is covalently linked to other proteins to regulate their function and degradation. This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin-specific protease family of cysteine proteases. The enzyme specifically cleaves ubiquitin from ubiquitin-conjugated protein substrates. The protein is found in the nucleus and cytoplasm. It functions as a co-factor of the DNA-bound androgen receptor complex, and is inhibited by a protein in the Ras-GTPase pathway. The human genome contains several pseudogenes similar to this gene.[1]

Interactions

USP10 has been shown to interact with G3BP1.[2]
