Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; deubiquitinase activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA repair; DNA repair-dependent chromatin remodeling; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA damage response; chromatin organization; and proteolysis. Predicted to be located in Flemming body; cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human USP3 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 3).
