Otud7a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity and cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein K11-linked deubiquitination and protein deubiquitination involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human OTUD7A (OTU deubiquitinase 7A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Otud7a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- UBA domain-like superfamily
- UBA-like domain
- peptidase
- ubiquitin-specific protease
- A20-like zinc finger
- OTU-like cysteine protease
- OTU (ovarian tumor) domain family
