{"symbol":"OTUB2","synonyms":["OTB2","C14ORF137","OTU2"],"name":"OTU deubiquitinase, ubiquitin aldehyde binding 2","description":"This gene encodes one of several deubiquitylating enzymes. Ubiquitin modification of proteins is needed for their stability and function; to reverse the process, deubiquityling enzymes remove ubiquitin. This protein contains an OTU domain and binds Ubal (ubiquitin aldehyde); an active cysteine protease site is present in the OTU domain.
