The function of USP35 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 35, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000118369) is as follows. Deubiquitinase that plays a role in different processes including cell cycle regulation, mitophagy or endoplasmic reticulum stress (PubMed:26348204, PubMed:29449677, PubMed:37004621). Inhibits TNFalpha-induced NF-kappa-B activation through stabilizing TNIP2 protein via deubiquitination (PubMed:26348204). Plays an essential role during mitosis by deubiquitinating and thereby regulating the levels of Aurora B/AURKB protein (PubMed:29449677). In addition, regulates the protein levels of other key component of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) such as survivin/BIRC5 or Borealin/CDCA8 by enhancing their stability (PubMed:34438346). Regulates the degradation of mitochondria through the process of autophagy termed mitophagy (PubMed:25915564). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25915564, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26348204, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29449677, ECO:0000269|PubMed:34438346, ECO:0000269|PubMed:37004621}.
