NCIt definition : Human USP22 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 17p11.2 and is approximately
44 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase
22 protein, is involved in the removal of ubiquitin from histone H2 proteins.;
NCIt note : Deletion mutations in the USP22 gene may be associated with squamous cell lung carcinomas.
