  • Subunit: Interacts with RB1 (both dephosphorylated and hypophosphorylated forms). Interacts with ADORA2A (via cytoplasmic C-terminus); the interaction is direct. Interacts with RB1, RBL1 and RBL2 1 PDB 3D structure from [IMAGE] and Proteopedia [IMAGE] for USP4: 2Y6E (3D) [IMAGE]
  • Tissue specificity: Overexpressed in small cell tumors and adenocarcinomas of the lung compared to wild-type lung (at protein level). Expressed in the hippocampal neurons [IMAGE] Custom PCR Arrays for USP4 Primer Products: [IMAGE] OriGene qSTAR qPCR primer pairs in human, mo
  • Function:
    Hydrolase that deubiquitinates target proteins such as the receptor ADORA2A, PDPK1 and TRIM21. Deubiquitination of ADORA2A increases the amount of functional receptor at the cell surface. Plays a role in the regulation of quality control in the ER
