OTULIN — OTU Deubiquitinase with Linear Linkage Specificity

🧬 Gene Info
Gene SymbolOTULIN
Full NameOTU Deubiquitinase with Linear Linkage Specificity
Chromosome5p15.2
Protein TypeProtease
FunctionUnlike other OTU family members, OTULIN shows exceptional specificity for linear ubiquitin chains and does not efficiently cleave other ubiquitin linkage types.
PathwaysNF-κB signaling, NF-κB Signaling, NF-κB
Ensembl IDENSG00000135547
GeneCardsOTULIN
Human Protein AtlasOTULIN
Alzheimer's DiseaseOTULIN regulates tau expression through linear ubiquitin-dependent mechanisms. Dysregulation of OTULIN may contribute to tau pathology in AD. [@ref]
Parkinson's DiseaseImplicated in PD pathogenesis through regulation of protein quality control pathways
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)Rare variants may modify ALS risk through effects on proteostasis
ImmunodeficiencyLoss-of-function mutations cause OTULIN-related immunodeficiency and inflammatory disease
CancerAltered expression in various cancers, affecting cell proliferation and survival
Associated DiseasesInfection, Inflammation
InteractionsIKBKG, TNF, UBIQUITIN, NFKB, NF-ΚB, MITOCHONDRIA
