Definition:

Metalloprotease with deubiquitinase activity that plays important regulator roles in hematopoietic stem cell function, blood cell production and immune response. Participates in the normal programming of B-cell responses to antigen after the maturation process (By similarity). Within the cytoplasm, plays critical roles in the repression of innate immunity and autoimmunity. Removes 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitins from TRAF3 and TRAF6 complexes (By similarity). Attenuates NOD2-mediated inflammation and tissue injury by promoting 'Lys-63'-linked deubiquitination of RIPK2 component (By similarity). Suppresses the CGAS-STING1 signaling pathway by cleaving STING1 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitin chains. In the nucleus, acts as a hematopoietic transcription regulator derepressing a range of genes essential for normal stem cell differentiation including EBF1 and PAX5 in B-cells, ID2 in NK-cell progenitor or FLT3 in dendritic cell precursors. Deubiquitinates monoubiquitinated histone H2A, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, leading to dissociation of histone H1 from the nucleosome.
