Ubiquitin specific peptidase 17-like family member 17 (USP17L17)

Ubiquitin specific peptidase 17-like family member 17 (USP17L17) is a protein-coding gene that encodes a **deubiquitinating enzyme** involved in the removal of conjugated ubiquitin from target proteins, thereby regulating various cellular processes such as **cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell migration, cell cycle progression**, and the **cellular response to viral infection**[1][2][7][13]. It is predicted to be located in the **endoplasmic reticulum, cytosol, and nucleus**, has cysteine-type endopeptidase and deubiquitinase activity, and plays a role in regulating protein stability[2][3][4][6][12]. While USP17 family members are broadly implicated in cancer and cell homeostasis, there are currently **no known drugs** specifically targeting USP17L17, nor established biomarkers or significant safety data[2][13].
