UFSP1 is similar to other Ufm1-specific proteases. Studies in mouse determined that Ufsp1 releases Ufm1 (ubiquitin-fold modifier 1) from its bound conjugated complexes which also makes it into an active form. Because the human UFSP1 protein is shorter on the N-terminal and lacks a conserved Cys active site, it is predicted to be non-functional. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-142 from human UFSP1, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
