    motifs/domains
  • five highly conserved domains
  • domains I, II and III containing the expected catalytic triad Cys, Asp, His which defines cysteine proteases

    interspecies homolog to Drosophila developmental gene fat facets related on the Y

    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
    basic FUNCTION
  • ubiquitin specific protease involved in spermatogenesis
  • may stabilize a specific target protein that is important for male germ cell development
  • during human spermatogenesis, is more likely a fine tuner that improves efficiency, rather than a provider of an essential function

    Variant & Polymorphism
    Candidate gene complete deletion of USP9Y is compatible with normal spermatogenesis (Luddi,09)suggesting that USP9Y does not play a key role in male reproduction
