Ubiquitin-Specific Protease 18 in Chronic Kidney Disease—Another Emerging Biomarker to Consider?

Ubiquitin-specific protease 18 (USP18) is a protein recognized for its dual enzymatic and non-enzymatic nature. It is involved in many physiological processes like the cell cycle and cell signaling. It also suppresses heart muscle remodeling upon an increase in the afterload. The role of USP18 in ki...
