CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular

basic FUNCTION	may be playing a role in extracellular matrix remodeling and in increasing heparin-binding growth factor release during embryo implantation (D'Souza 2008)
	may be important for the synergic action of muscles implicated in facial expression and urine voiding (Pang 2010)
	required for normal lower-urinary-tract innervation and/or neural function
