Gene summary

This gene is a member of the peptidase C19 family. It encodes a protein that is similar to ubiquitin-specific proteases, which cleave the ubiquitin moiety from ubiquitin-fused precursors and ubiquitinylated proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_004654.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: May function as a ubiquitin-protein or polyubiquitin hydrolase involved both in the processing of ubiquitin precursors and of ubiquitinated proteins. May therefore play an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation of proteins through the removal of conjugated ubiquitin. Essential component of TGF-beta/BMP signaling cascade. Deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated SMAD4, opposing the activity of E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase TRIM33. Monoubiquitination of SMAD4 hampers its ability to form a stable complex with activated SMAD2/3 resulting in inhibition of TGF-beta/BMP signaling cascade. Deubiquitination of SMAD4 by USP9X re-empowers its competence to mediate TGF-beta signaling (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Spermatogenic failure Y-linked 2 (SPGFY2) [MIM:415000]: A disorder resulting in the absence (azoospermia) or reduction (oligozoospermia) of sperm in the semen, leading to male infertility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10581029}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The role of USP9Y in spermatogenesis failure is uncertain (PubMed:19246359). A 4-bp deletion in a splice-donor site, causing exon skipping and protein truncation has been observed in non- obstructive azoospermia (PubMed:10581029). However, complete USP9Y deletion has been detected in individuals with no spermatogenic defects (PubMed:19246359). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10581029, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19246359}.;
