Sialidase-2

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
(Redirected from NEU2)

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Sialidase-2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NEU2 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene belongs to a family of glycohydrolytic enzymes which remove sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids. Expression studies in COS-7 cells confirmed that this gene encodes a functional sialidase. Its cytosolic localization was demonstrated by cell fractionation experiments.[3]
