CYLD (gene)

Introduction

Cylindromatosis (turban tumor syndrome), also known as CYLD, is a human gene.[1]

This gene encodes a cytoplasmic protein with three cytoskeletal-associated protein-glycine-conserved (CAP-GLY) domains that functions as a deubiquitinating enzyme. Mutations in this gene have been associated with cylindromatosis, multiple familial trichoepithelioma, and Brooke–Spiegler syndrome. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.[1]
