Usp27x Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables K48-linked deubiquitinase activity; K63-linked deubiquitinase activity; and cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process; protein deubiquitination; and protein stabilization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 105. Orthologous to human USP27X (ubiquitin specific peptidase 27 X-linked). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Usp27x often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
