CYLD (Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase CYLD) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Bladder & urothelial cancer, Breast cancer, Colorectal cancer and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Deubiquitinase that specifically cleaves 'Lys-63'- and linear 'Met-1'-linked polyubiquitin chains and is involved in NF-kappa-B activation and TNF-induced necroptosis. Negatively regulates NF-kappa-B activation by deubiquitinating upstream signalling factors. Contributes to the regulation of cell survival, proliferation and differentiation via its effects on NF-kappa-B activation. Negative regulator of Wnt signalling. Inhibits HDAC6 and thereby promotes acetylation of alpha-tubulin and stabilisation of microtubules. Plays a role in the regulation of microtubule dynamics, and thereby contributes to the regulation of cell proliferation, cell polarisation, cell migration, and angiogenesis. Location: Cytoplasm; Cytoplasm, perinuclear region; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton; Cell membrane (UniProt). Locus 16q12.1 (HGNC).
