USP8  
    


    
      Official symbol:  USP8
      Full name:  ubiquitin specific peptidase 8
      Location:  15q21.2
      Also known as:  HumORF8, SPG59, KIAA0055, UBPY
      Entrez ID:  9101
      Ensembl ID:  ENSG00000138592
      Summary:  This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the ubiquitin-specific processing protease family of proteins. The encoded protein is thought to regulate the morphology of the endosome by ubiquitination of proteins on this organelle and is involved in cargo sorting and membrane trafficking at the early endosome stage. This protein is required for the cell to enter the S phase of the cell cycle and also functions as a positive regulator in the Hedgehog signaling pathway in development. Pseudogenes of this gene are present on chromosomes 2 and 6. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
