USP6 (Ubiquitin Specific Peptidase 6) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with USP6 include Pseudosarcomatous Fibromatosis and Fasciitis. Among its related pathways are Arf6 signaling events and Ubiquitin-Proteasome Dependent Proteolysis. Deubiquitinase with an ATP-independent isopeptidase activity, cleaving at the C-terminus of the ubiquitin moiety. Catalyzes its own deubiquitination. In vitro, isoform 2, but not isoform 3, shows deubiquitinating activity. Promotes plasma membrane localization of ARF6 and selectively regulates ARF6-dependent endocytic protein trafficking. Is able to initiate tumorigenesis by inducing the production of matrix metalloproteinases following NF-kappa-B activation.
