Description

The USP17L18 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 18) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.

USP17L18 is a deubiquitinating enzyme, meaning it removes ubiquitin tags from specific proteins. This process of removing ubiquitin is crucial for regulating various cellular functions, including cell growth and division, cell cycle progression, programmed cell death (apoptosis), cell movement, and the body's response to viral infections.

USP17L18 is also known as -.
