Function
Catalyzes hyaluronan degradation into small fragments that are endocytosed and degraded in lysosomes by HYAL1 and exoglycosidases. Essential for the breakdown of extracellular matrix hyaluronan.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor)
Tissue Specificity: Widely expressed (at protein level)
Disease Association: Muggenthaler-Chowdhury-Chioza syndrome (MCCS) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by distinctive craniofacial dysmorphism with frontal bossing, hypertelorism, a broad and flattened nasal tip, and cupped ears with superior helices. Other common but variable clinical manifestations are unilateral or bilateral cleft lip and palate, congenital cardiac anomalies, ocular features including mild to severe myopia and cataracts, single palmar crease, and pectus excavatum. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
