Also known as DFFRYFAF-YAZFA
Summary
USP9Y (ubiquitin specific peptidase 9 Y-linked, HGNC:12633) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Yq11.221, encoding Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 9Y (O00507). Deubiquitinase that mediates deubiquitination of target proteins.
This gene is a member of the peptidase C19 family. It encodes a protein that is similar to ubiquitin-specific proteases, which cleave the ubiquitin moiety from ubiquitin-fused precursors and ubiquitinylated proteins.

Function. Deubiquitinase that mediates deubiquitination of target proteins. May stabilize target proteins that are important for male germ cell development.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed in embryonic and adult tissues.
Disease relevance. USP9Y is located in the ‘azoospermia factor a’ (AZFa) region on chromosome Y which is deleted in Sertoli cell-only syndrome. This is an infertility disorder in which no germ cells are visible in seminiferous tubules leading to azoospermia. However, AZFa deletions resulting in complete loss of USP9Y have also been found in normospermic men. Spermatogenic failure Y-linked 2 (SPGFY2) [MIM:415000] A disorder resulting in the absence (azoospermia) or reduction (oligozoospermia) of sperm in the semen, leading to male infertility. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The role of USP9Y in spermatogenesis failure is uncertain. A 4-bp deletion in a splice-donor site, causing exon skipping and protein truncation has been observed in non-obstructive azoospermia. However, complete USP9Y deletion has been detected in individuals with no spermatogenic defects.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
Similarity. Belongs to the peptidase C19 family.
