Predicted to enable K48-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; regulation of cellular catabolic process; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair and autophagy. Located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human UBQLN4 (ubiquilin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
