NCIt definition : Human USP9X wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xp11.4 and is approximately
151 kb in length. This allele, which encodes probable ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal
hydrolase FAF-X protein, is involved in the modulation of protein ubiquitination.;
NCIt note : Loss of expression of the USP9X gene may be associated with increased tumorigenicity
of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. (Nature. 2012; dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature11114.);
