Bap1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable chromatin DNA binding activity; cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; and histone H2A deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including myeloid cell differentiation; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and protein deubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within macrophage homeostasis; regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response; and regulation of inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of PR-DUB complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal cell carcinoma; extrahepatic bile duct adenocarcinoma; and uveal melanoma. Orthologous to human BAP1 (BRCA1 associated deubiquitinase 1).
