Summary
USP34 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 34, HGNC:20066) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p15, encoding Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 34 (Q70CQ2). Ubiquitin hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from AXIN1 and AXIN2, thereby acting as a regulator of Wnt signaling pathway.
Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity and cysteine-type endopeptidase activity. Involved in positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and protein K48-linked deubiquitination. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus.

Function. Ubiquitin hydrolase that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from AXIN1 and AXIN2, thereby acting as a regulator of Wnt signaling pathway. Acts as an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway downstream of the beta-catenin destruction complex by deubiquitinating and stabilizing AXIN1 and AXIN2, leading to promote nuclear accumulation of AXIN1 and AXIN2 and positively regulate beta-catenin (CTNBB1)-mediated transcription. Recognizes and hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the C-terminal Gly of ubiquitin. Involved in the processing of poly-ubiquitin precursors as well as that of ubiquitinated proteins.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with AXIN1 and AXIN2.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain at low level.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase C19 family.
