Facts about Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 6.
In vitro, isoform 2, but not isoform 3, shows deubiquitinating activity. Promotes plasma membrane localization of ARF6 and regulates ARF6- dependent endocytic protein trafficking.

Testis specific. Expressed in various cancer cell lines.
Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Endosome. Localizes to the plasma membrane and to filamentous structures within the cell corresponding to ARF6 regulated tubular endosomes. Activation of RAC1 and CDC42 can direct the relocalization of USP6 to the plasma membrane in a manner that depends on the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton.
