== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Involved in the regulation of inflammatory response to interferon type 1 (PubMed:27325888). Can efficiently cleave only ISG15 fusions including native ISG15 conjugates linked via isopeptide bonds. Necessary to maintain a critical cellular balance of ISG15-conjugated proteins in both healthy and stressed organisms. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27325888}.
