description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables hyalurononglucosaminidase activity. Involved in hyaluronan catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; integumental system; nervous system; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human CEMIP2 (cell migration inducing hyaluronidase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for loss of expression display accumulation and impaired degradation of hyaluronan.
