Usp22 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; histone deubiquitinase activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to contribute to cysteine-type deubiquitinase activity and histone H4 acetyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in G2/M transition of mitotic cell cycle; positive regulation of mitotic cell cycle; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein deubiquitination. Predicted to be part of SAGA complex. Orthologous to human USP22 (ubiquitin specific peptidase 22).

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 Usp22 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
