Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in left lung; primary oocyte; right lung; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human USP21 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 21). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable and fertile but develop splenomegaly, show an increased percentage of macrophages and neutrophils in spleen, and are more resistant to vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) infection with elevated interferon production.
