General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Enzymes Metabolic proteins
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Deubiquitinase that plays a role in several cellular processes including transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression or innate immunity. In response to DNA damage, deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated target proteins such as histone H2A and H2AX and thereby counteracts RNF168- and RNF8-mediated ubiquitination. In turn, participates in the recruitment of DNA damage repair factors to DNA break sites 1. Required for proper progression through S phase and subsequent mitotic entry 2. Acts as a positive regulator of TP53 by deubiquitinating and stabilizing it to promote normal cell proliferation and transformation 3. Participates in establishing tolerance innate immune memory through non-transcriptional feedback. Mechanistically, negatively regulates TLR-induced NF-kappa-B signaling by targeting and removing the 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains on MYD88 4. Negatively regulates the activation of type I interferon signaling by mediating 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains on RIGI and IFIH1 5. Deubiquitinates also ASC/PYCARD, the central adapter mediating the assembly and activation of most inflammasomes, and thereby promotes inflammasome activation 6....show less

Useful information about the gene from Entrez
Enables histone binding activity and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Involved in several processes, including DNA repair; histone deubiquitination; and regulation of protein stability. Located in several cellular components, including Flemming body; cytoplasmic ribonucleoprotein granule; and nucleoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]...show less
PROTEIN INFORMATIONi
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The Splice variant identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the Swissprot and TrEMBL columns links to corresponding pages in the UniProt database.
The protein classes assigned to this protein are shown if expanding the data in the protein class column. Parent protein classes are in bold font and subclasses are listed under the parent class.
The length of the protein (amino acid residues according to Ensembl), molecular mass (kDalton), predicted signal peptide and number of predicted transmembrane region(s) according to in-house majority decision methods based on sets of predictors are also reported.
