Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; endopeptidase inhibitor activity; and proteasome binding activity. Involved in several processes, including brain development; positive regulation of DNA metabolic process; and telomere maintenance. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Ino80 complex and cytosolic proteasome complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain ventricular layer; genitourinary system; nose; and salivary gland primordium. Orthologous to human UCHL5 (ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L5).
