    Summary
    Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity and protein sequestering activity. Involved in negative regulation of innate immune response; negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein K33-linked deubiquitination. Is active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    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.

      See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001277254.1

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) contains a 3' terminal exon that extends past a splice site used in variant 1. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2 which is shorter and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' UTR and the 5' coding region and initiates translation at a downstream start codon, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 3, which is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
