  • Subunit: Interacts with RAC1 and CDC42. Interacts (via Rab-GAP TBC domain) with ARF6. Interacts with calmodulin (CALM1, CALM2 and/or CALM3); the interaction is calcium-dependent Miscellaneous: The USP6 gene only exists in the primate lineage
  • Tissue specificity: Testis specific. Expressed in various cancer cell lines [IMAGE] Custom PCR Arrays for USP6 Primer Products: [IMAGE] OriGene qPCR primer pairs and template standards for USP6 OriGene qSTAR qPCR primer pairs in human, mouse for USP6 [IMAGE] Pre-validated RT
  • Function:
    Deubiquitinase with an ATP-independent isopeptidase activity, cleaving at the C-terminus of the ubiquitin moiety. Catalyzes its own deubiquitination. In vitro, isoform 2, but not isoform 3, shows deubiquitinating activity. Promotes plasma membrane localization of ARF6 and selectively regulates ARF6-dependent endocytic protein trafficking. Is able to initiate tumorigenesis by inducing the production of matrix metalloproteinases following NF-kappa-B activation

    Disorder & Mutation    
    Source Disease
    SWISS-PROTNote=A chromosomal aberration involving USP6 is a common genetic feature of aneurysmal bone cyst, a benign osseous neoplasm. Translocation t(16;17)(q22;p13) with CDH11. The translocation generates a fusion gene in which the strong CDH11 promoter is fused to the entire USP6 coding sequence, resulting in USP6 transcriptional up-regulation
