| Synonyms | KIAA1887 |
| Function | Non-catalytic component of the polycomb repressive deubiquitinase (PR-DUB) complex, a complex that specifically mediates deubiquitination of histone H2A monoubiquitinated at 'Lys-120' (H2AK119ub1) (PubMed:24634419). Important for stability of PR-DUB components and stimulating its ubiquitinase activity (PubMed:36180891). As part of the PR-DUB complex, associates with chromatin enriched in histone marks H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and H3K27Ac, but not in H3K27me3 (PubMed:36180891). MBD5 and MBD6 containing complexes associate with distinct chromatin regions enriched in genes involved in different pathways (PubMed:36180891). Heterochromatin recruitment is not mediated by DNA methylation (PubMed:20700456). The PR-DUB complex is an epigenetic regulator of gene expression, including genes involved in development, cell communication, signaling, cell proliferation and cell viability; may promote cancer cell growth (PubMed:36180891). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Associates with heterochromatin containing chromocentres in a subset of cells in a DNA methylation- independent manner (PubMed:20700456). Localizes to sites of DNA damage independent of the PR-DUB complex (PubMed:24634419) |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
