Several cases of glioma, carcinoid, melanoma, colorectal, lung, testis and pancretic cancer displayed moderate to strong cytoplasmic and nuclear staining. Remaining cancer tissues were weakly stained or negative.
Cancer tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic and nuclear staining along with occasional membranous positivity in a few cases. Several cases of colorectal cancers along with few cases of ovarian cancers displayed strong positivity. Carcinoids and skin cancers were negative.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the deubiquitinating enzyme family. Members of this family are proteases that catalyze the removal of ubiquitin from polypeptides and are divided into five classes, depending on the mechanism of catalysis. This protein may hydrolyze the ubiquitinyl-N-epsilon amide bond of ubiquitinated proteins to regenerate ubiquitin for another catalytic cycle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
