USP1 expression is deregulated in certain types of human cancer. Recent findings indicated that USP1 inhibition may contribute to revert cisplatin resistance in an ''in vitro'' model of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which supports that USP1 can act as an effective target in cancer therapy. <ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = García-Santisteban I, Peters GJ, Giovannetti E, Rodríguez JA | title = USP1 deubiquitinase: cellular functions, regulatory mechanisms and emerging potential as target in cancer therapy | journal = Molecular Cancer | volume = 12 | issue = 1 | pages = 91 | date = August 2013 | pmid = 23937906 | pmc = 3750636 | doi = 10.1186/1476-4598-12-91 }}</ref>
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the USP1gene.
This gene encodes a member of the ubiquitin-specific processing (UBP) family of proteases that is a deubiquitinating enzyme (DUB) with His and Cys domains. This protein is located in the cytoplasm and cleaves the ubiquitin moiety from ubiquitin-fused precursors and ubiquitinylated proteins.
The protein specifically deubiquitinates a protein in the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway. Alternate transcriptional splice variants have been characterized.
