Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable K48-linked deubiquitinase activity; cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ERAD pathway; endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; and negative regulation of retrograde protein transport, ER to cytosol. Predicted to act upstream of or within proteolysis and response to unfolded protein. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human YOD1 (YOD1 deubiquitinase).
