Usp2-45 consists of 396 amino acids (45.2 kDa), while Usp2-69 is 619 amino acids (69.5 kDa). Usp2-69 results from the spKeywords: complementary DNA; messenger RNA; proteinase; ubiquitin; ubiquitin specific protease; unclassified drug; alternative RNA splicing; animal cell; apoptosis; article; cell differentiation; cell type; cellular distribution; enzyme activity; gene; gene structu Apoptosis; Differentiation; Ubiquitin; Ubiquitin-specific protease; UBP41Gene Structure, Alternate Splicing, Tissue Distribution, Cellular Localization, and Developmental Expression Pattern of Mouse Deubiquitinating Enzyme Isoforms Usp2-45 and Usp2-6920032015-12-12
