Also known as: D15Wsu75e, DJ347H13.4, DeSI-1, FAM152B, POST, PPPDE2

NCBI Gene: 27351ENSG00000100418UniProt: Q6ICB0

Enables importin-alpha family protein binding activity and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Involved in protein export from nucleus and regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Part of protein-containing complex.

Population Genetics & Constraint

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance

Tolerant — LoF & missense variants common in population
LoF Constraint?LOEUF (Loss-of-function Observed/Expected Upper bound Fraction) is the upper bound of the 90% CI for LoF OE — the preferred gnomAD v4 metric. Lower = more intolerant to LoF. LOEUF < 0.35 = highly constrained.

Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population

Missense Constraint?Missense Z-score: standard deviations fewer missense variants observed vs. expected. Z > 3.09 (p < 0.001) = gene does not tolerate missense variation. OE missense < 0.6 is also considered constrained.
