Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity and protein sequestering activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of innate immune response and negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within proteolysis. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human USP38 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 38).
