Primary Identifier | MGI:2144157 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 216825 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Acts upstream of or within protein deubiquitination. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of SAGA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human USP22 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 22). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit embryonic lethality, embryonic growth retardation, placental defects, and increased apoptosis in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Homozygotes for a hypomorphic allele are viable but show postnatal growth retardation, and impaired cell differentiation in the small intestine and brain. [provided by MGI curators] |
