USP46 belongs to the peptidase C19 family; USP12/USP46 subfamily. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) are a large group of proteases which are also commonly referred to as deubiquitinating peptidases; deubiquitinating isopeptidases; deubiquitinases; ubiquitin proteases; ubiquitin hydrolyases; ubiquitin isopeptidases; or Dubs. They regulate ubiquitin-dependent metabolic pathways by cleaving ubiquitin-protein bonds. They also may act as negative and positive regulators of the ubiquitin system. Besides ubiquitin recycling; they are also involved in processing of ubiquitin precursors; in proofreading of protein ubiquitination and in disassembly of inhibitory ubiquitin chains. USP46 is a deubiquitinating enzyme that plays a role in behavior; possibly by regulating GABA action. It may act by mediating the deubiquitination of GAD1/GAD67. USP46 has almost no deubiquitinating activity by itself and requires the interaction with WDR48 to have a high activity and it is not involved in deubiquitination of monoubiquitinated FANCD2.
