Hpse2 - heparanase 2

Predicted to enable heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in bladder; brain; metanephros; and ureter. Used to study urofacial syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urofacial syndrome. Orthologous to human HPSE2 (heparanase 2 (inactive)).
