Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables beta-glucuronidase activity. Involved in chondroitin sulfate catabolic process; heparan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process; and hyaluronan catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within carbohydrate metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Is active in lysosomal lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; sensory organ; and viscerocranium. Used to study Sly syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sly syndrome. Orthologous to human GUSB (glucuronidase beta).
