Anti-ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the USP17L2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 530 amino acid residues and a mass of 59.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus and ER. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the Peptidase C19 protein family, it is a type of deubiquitinating enzyme that removes conjugated ubiquitin from specific proteins to regulate different cellular processes. Other names for this target antigen include deubiquitinating enzyme 17-like protein 2, deubiquitinating enzyme 3, deubiquitinating protein 3, ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 17-like protein 2, and ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 17.
