Ufm1-specific protease 2 (UFSP2)

Thiol protease which recognizes and hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the C-terminal Gly of UFM1, a ubiquitin-like modifier protein bound to a number of target proteins. Doesn't hydrolyze SUMO1 or ISG15 ubiquitin-like proteins.

During TRIP4 deufmylation may regulate intracellular nuclear receptors transactivation and thereby regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. .
