Predicted to enable cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein deubiquitination. Located in cellular bud neck and incipient cellular bud site. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Orthologous to several human genes including USP8 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 8).
SGD Description
Putative ubiquitin-specific protease; concentrates at the bud neck; UBP5 has a paralog, DOA4, that arose from the whole genome duplication
