Gene information for HPSE2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID60495
Official gene symbolHPSE2
Full nameheparanase 2
Aliases,FLJ11684,FLJ44022,HPA2,HPR2,MGC133234,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a heparanase enzyme. The encoded protein is a endoglycosidase that degrades heparin sulfate proteoglycans located on the extracellular matrix and cell surface. This protein may be involved in biological processes involving remodeling of the extracellular matrix including angiogenesis and tumor progression. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
