Summary: This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin-specific processing (UBP) family of proteases and is a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) with His and Cys domains. It is specifically expressed in testis tissue. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Sertoli cell-only syndrome and male infertility. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

findings demonstrate TGF-beta enhances expression of USP26 and reinforces SMAD7 stability by limiting the ubiquitin-mediated turnover of SMAD7; clinically, loss of USP26 correlates with high TGF-beta activity and confers poor prognosis in glioblastoma; data identify USP26 as a novel negative regulator of the TGF-beta pathway and suggest that loss of USP26 expression may be an important factor in glioblastoma pathogenesis

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
