Type: | Family | Name: | Ubiquitin thioesterase OTUB2 |
Description: | OTUB2 (also known as otubain-2) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that belongs to the OTU family of cysteine proteases []. It is a hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins in vitro and may therefore play an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. The structure of OTUB2 has been solved; its crystal structure shows a novel fold for deubiquitylating enzymes []. | Short Name: | OTUB2 |
