Ubiquitin specific peptidase 9 Y-linked (fat facets-like Drosophila) also known as USP9Y is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the USP9Y gene. It is required for sperm production. This enzyme is a member of the peptidase C19 family and is similar to ubiquitin-specific proteases which cleave the ubiquitin moiety from ubiquitin-fused precursors and ubiquitinylated proteins.
