Deskripsi

Usp9x is a deubiquitinating enzyme with altered expression in melanoma; however its functional contribution in this context is not clear. Here the authors show that Usp9x regulates the stability of the transcription factor Ets-1 that in turn impacts metastatic melanoma through increased expression of NRAS.
