Primary Identifier | MGI:1918722 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 71472 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables K48-linked deubiquitinase activity; cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of skeletal muscle tissue development; protein K48-linked deubiquitination; and protein stabilization. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in ovary and primary sex cord. Orthologous to human USP19 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 19). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased body weight, reduced male fertility, and increased resistance to skeletal muscle atrophy induced by both glucocorticoids and denervation.
