Facts about Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 15.
According to another reports, regulates the TGF-beta receptor signaling pathway by mediating deubiquitination and stabilization of TGFBR1, leading to an enhanced TGF-beta signal (PubMed:22344298). Able to mediate deubiquitination of monoubiquitinated substrates and'Lys- 48'-linked polyubiquitin chains, protecting them against proteasomal degradation.
