USP9Y wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human USP9Y wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Yq11.221 and is approximately 323 kb in length. This allele, which encodes probable ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase FAF-Y protein, plays a role in proteolytic deubiquitination. Mutation of the gene is associated with spermatogenic failure Y-linked 2 and deletions in this region of the Y chromosome is associated with Sertoli cell-only syndrome.
