Usp46

Enables deubiquitinase activity. Involved in regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult feeding behavior; behavioral fear response; and behavioral response to ethanol. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol; glutamatergic synapse; and nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex intermediate zone; cortical plate; and pancreas epithelium. Orthologous to human USP46 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 46). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Usp46 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
