OTU domain containing 6B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OTUD6Bgene.[5]
OTUD6B is a functional deubiquitinating enzyme, a class of protease that specifically cleaves ubiquitin linkages, negating the action of ubiquitin ligases. OTUD6B, also known as DUBA5, belongs to a DUB subfamily characterized by an ovarian tumor domain (OTU).[5] OTUD6B function may be connected to growth and proliferation.[6][7] This hypothesis is supported by a recent study indicating that OTUD6B knock out mice, obtained through exon 4 deletion, are subviable and smaller in size.[8] In humans, OTUD6B mutations have been connected to an intellectual disability syndrome associated with dysmorphic features.[8]
Previous studies on model organisms (see below) cannot be verified by this editor.
Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[11][18] Twenty five tests were carried out on homozygousmutant adult mice, however no significant abnormalities were observed.[11]
