Facts about Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 4.
Deubiquitinates receptor ADORA2A which increases the quantity of functional receptor in the cell surface (PubMed:16339847). May regulate mRNA splicing through deubiquitination of the U4 spliceosomal protein PRPF3 (PubMed:20595234).

Overexpressed in small cell tumors and adenocarcinomas of the lung compared to wild-type lung (at protein level). Expressed in the hippocampal neurons.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Exported to the cytoplasm in a CRM1-dependent manner and recycled back to the nucleus via the importin alpha/beta heterodimeric import receptor. The relative amounts found in the nucleus and cytoplasm vary according to the cell type.
