Description

The USP17L21 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 21) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 4.

USP17L21 is a deubiquitinating enzyme, meaning it removes ubiquitin tags from specific proteins. This process plays a crucial role in regulating a variety of cellular functions, including cell growth, cell cycle progression, programmed cell death (apoptosis), cell movement, and the body's response to viral infections.

USP17L21 is also known as -.
