Recombinant Human Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 37 (USP37), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q86T82

Target Species

Human

Target Name

USP37

Target Full Name

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 37

Target Function

Deubiquitinase that antagonizes the anaphase-promoting complex (APC/C) during G1/S transition by mediating deubiquitination of cyclin-A (CCNA1 and CCNA2), thereby promoting S phase entry. Specifically mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-11'-linked polyubiquitin chains, a specific ubiquitin-linkage type mediated by the APC/C complex. Also mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains in vitro. Phosphorylation at Ser-628 during G1/S phase maximizes the deubiquitinase activity, leading to prevent degradation of cyclin-A (CCNA1 and CCNA2). Plays an important role in the regulation of DNA replication by stabilizing the licensing factor CDT1.

Target Protein Families

Peptidase C19 family
