Usp14 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable deubiquitinase activity; endopeptidase inhibitor activity; and proteasome binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process; protein K48-linked deubiquitination; and regulation of chemotaxis. Predicted to act upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell surface; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic cytosol. Orthologous to human USP14 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
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 rat Usp14 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
