Primary Identifier | MGI:98905 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 22258 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable adenosine receptor binding activity; cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; protein localization to cell surface; and spliceosomal tri-snRNP complex assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in facial prominence ectoderm and facial prominence mesenchyme. Orthologous to human USP4 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased irradiation-induced apoptosis, slow cellular growth, resistance to oncogenic transformation, and early cellular replicative senescence.
