Usp36 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable K48-linked deubiquitinase activity; cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity; and histone H2B deubiquitinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of protein targeting to mitochondrion; protein stabilization; and regulation of macroautophagy. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nuclear speck; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human USP36 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 36).

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 Usp36 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
