ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 17-like protein 23 (USP17L23)

Structure

• belongs to the peptidase C19 family, USP17 subfamily

Compartment

• nucleus (putative)
• endoplasmic reticulum (putative)

Genetics

• the RS447 megasatellite DNA is a highly polymorphic conserved tandem repetitive sequence which contains a copy of USP17
• it is present with an interindividual variation in copy number & between 20-103 copies can be found on chromosome 4 & chromosome 8

Notes

• product of a dubious gene prediction

More general terms

• ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase
• nuclear protein
