Summary
Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Predicted to be involved in G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle and protein deubiquitination. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human USP26 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 26).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
