Therefore, we particularly investigated the expression of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolases (UCHs: UCH-L1, UCH-L3, UCH-L5 and BAP1), a subfamily of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), using publically available datasets (GTEx, TCGA) and observed altered expression of UCH-L1, UCH-L3, UCH-L5 in 17 cancer types. The gene discussed is BAP1; the disease is cancer.
