Facts about Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 2.
Deubiquitinates MDM2 without reversing MDM2-mediated p53/TP53 ubiquitination and consequently indirectly promotes p53/TP53 degradation and limits p53 activity (PubMed:17290220, PubMed:19838211). Has no deubiquitinase activity against p53/TP53 (PubMed:17290220).
