Protein domains PUB-interacting motif domain, ovarian tumor (OTU) domain OTU domain, 7 ZnF domains
Protein function Met1 linear deubiquitinase (DUB) K63 DUB
Involved pathway NF-κB NF-κB, NLRP3
Substrate molecules NEMO, TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1), RIPK1, ASC NEMO, RIPK1, TRAF6, pro IL-1β

Genetics Inheritance Recessive Dominant
Type of mutations Loss-of-function mutations (missense, INDELS) Loss-of-function mutations (stop gain mutation, missense, INDELS)
