Enables deubiquitinase activity. Involved in cellular response to insulin stimulus; positive regulation of fat cell differentiation; and protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within adult walking behavior; eating behavior; and retina development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Orthologous to human UCHL3 (ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L3).
