Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction and protein localization. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; musculoskeletal system; and nervous system. Used to study low tension glaucoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Paget's disease of bone; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (multiple); and glaucoma (multiple). Orthologous to human OPTN (optineurin).
