| Function | [Isoform 1]: Cleaves GlcNAc but not GalNAc from O- glycosylated proteins (PubMed:11148210, PubMed:11788610, PubMed:20673219, PubMed:22365600, PubMed:24088714, PubMed:28939839, PubMed:37962578). Deglycosylates a large and diverse number of proteins, such as CRYAB, ELK1, GSDMD, LMNB1 and TAB1 (PubMed:28939839, PubMed:37962578). Can use p-nitrophenyl-beta-GlcNAc and 4- methylumbelliferone-GlcNAc as substrates but not p-nitrophenyl-beta- GalNAc or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-GlcNAc (in vitro) (PubMed:20673219). Does not bind acetyl-CoA and does not have histone acetyltransferase activity (PubMed:24088714). |
| Cellular Location | [Isoform 3]: Nucleus |
| Tissue Location | Ubiquitous. Shows highest expression in the brain, placenta and pancreas. |

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.
