The encoded protein is involved in processing and deconjugation of the ubiquitin-like protein termed, neural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 8. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] Expression Broad expression in testis (RPKM 2.2), thyroid (RPKM 1.6) and 23 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
