Several studies have utilized chemical blockers to assess the roles of USP in metabolic disorders; e.g., GSK2643953A for USP20 in obesity, ML323 and SJB-043 for USP1 in β-cell damage, ML364 for USP2 in hypothalamic function, and HBX41108 for USP7 in diabetic foot ulcers [50,69,117,179]. The gene discussed is USP7; the disease is diabetic foot.
