Primary Identifier | MGI:1924050 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 76800 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Involved in protein deubiquitination. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human USP42 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 42). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit fecundity and behavioral abnormalities, hyperactivity, increased T cell number, abnormal lens morphology, and cataracts. Males display oligozoospermia and testis degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
