Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 11 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the USP11 gene.[1][2]

Protein ubiquitination controls many intracellular processes, including cell cycle progression, transcriptional activation, and signal transduction. This dynamic process, involving ubiquitin conjugating enzymes and deubiquitinating enzymes, adds and removes ubiquitin. Deubiquitinating enzymes are cysteine proteases that specifically cleave ubiquitin from ubiquitin-conjugated protein substrates. This gene encodes a deubiquitinating enzyme which lies in a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.23[2]

Interactions

USP11 has been shown to interact with RANBP9.[3]
