Gene information for NEU2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4759
Official gene symbolNEU2
Full namesialidase 2 (cytosolic sialidase)
Aliases,MGC129579,SIAL2,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to a family of glycohydrolytic enzymes which remove sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids. Expression studies in COS7 cells confirmed that this gene encodes a functional sialidase. Its cytosolic localization was demonstrated by cell fractionation experiments. [provided by RefSeq]
