Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and thiol-dependent deubiquitinase. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including proteolysis; regulation of GTPase activity; and regulation of viral-induced cytoplasmic pattern recognition receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human USP17L2 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 17 like family member 2).
