Summary: Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Involved in endosome organization and protein deubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within Ras protein signal transduction. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; cytosol; and midbody. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
