Gene information for GUSB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2990
Official gene symbolGUSB
Full nameglucuronidase, beta
Aliases,BG,FLJ39445,MPS7,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a hydrolase that degrades glycosaminoglycans, including heparan sulfate, dermatan sulfate, and chondroitin-4,6-sulfate. The enzyme forms a homotetramer that is localized to the lysosome. Mutations in this gene result in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. There are many pseudogenes of this locus in the human genome.
