Predicted to enable Lys48-specific deubiquitinase activity; thiol-dependent deubiquitinase; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of retrograde protein transport, ER to cytosol; protein deubiquitination; and ubiquitin-dependent ERAD pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to unfolded protein. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human YOD1 (YOD1 deubiquitinase).
