Function

Hydrolase that can specifically remove compared to 'Lys-48'-linked conjugated ubiquitin from proteins and plays an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation (By similarity). Regulator of T-cell anergy, a phenomenon that occurs when T-cells are rendered unresponsive to antigen rechallenge and no longer respond to their cognate antigen (By similarity). Acts via its interaction with RNF128/GRAIL (By similarity). Surprisingly, it regulates RNF128-mediated ubiquitination, but does not deubiquitinate polyubiquitinated RNF128 (By similarity). Deubiquitinates estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) (By similarity). Mediates deubiquitination of 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains, but not 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains (By similarity). Not able to cleave di-ubiquitin (By similarity). Also capable of removing NEDD8 from NEDD8 conjugates, but with a much lower preference compared to 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitin (By similarity)
