Recombinant Human His6-USP10 Protein, CF

Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 10 (USP10) is a specialized cysteine protease with a predicted molecular weight of 87 kDa. USP10 is a member of the peptidase C19 family and the human protein shares 83% amino acid sequence identity with its mouse ortholog. Reported USP10 targets include p53, BECN1, SNX3 and CFTR. USP10 translocates to the nucleus in response to DNA damage and deubiquitinates p53, thus regulating the p53-dependent DNA damage response. USP10 deubiquitination of BECN1 leads to stabilization of PIK3C3/VPS34-containing complexes which drives autophagy. The small molecule Spautin-1 exerts its potent inhibitory effects on autophagy partially through the inhibition of USP10 activity.
