OTUD1 explained

OTU deubiquitinase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OTUD1 gene.^[1]

Function

Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs; see MIM 603478) are proteases that specifically cleave ubiquitin (MIM 191339) linkages, negating the action of ubiquitin ligases. DUBA7 belongs to a DUB subfamily characterized by an ovarian tumor (OTU) domain.
