Usp38 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity and protein sequestering activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of innate immune response; negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein K33-linked deubiquitination. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human USP38 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 38). [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 Usp38 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
