Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables chromatin DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including common myeloid progenitor cell proliferation; hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; and myeloid cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including macrophage homeostasis; regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of PR-DUB complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; decidua; gonad; mammary gland; and trophectoderm. Used to study myelodysplastic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal cell carcinoma; extrahepatic bile duct adenocarcinoma; and uveal melanoma. Orthologous to human BAP1 (BRCA1 associated protein 1).
