Deubiquitinating Enzyme CYLD

A deubiquitinase and tumor-suppressor protein that specifically cleaves LYSINE-63-linked polyubiquitin chains and also has endodeubiquitinase activity. It functions to regulate NF-KAPPA B and WNT SIGNALING PATHWAY activity, contributing to cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation. Mutations in the CYLD gene are associated with cases of FAMILIAL CYLINDROMATOSIS.
