Uchl3, as known as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase isozyme L3, is a member of the peptidase C12 family of deubiquitinating enzymes. It is widely expressed with the highest levels being observed in heart, testis, thymus and striated muscle. This protein is suggested to function in the central nervous system. In particular, it is involved in the maintenance of neurons of the gracile tract, nucleus tractus, solitaris, and area postrema, and in working memory.
