basic FUNCTION
| removes 4-sulfate groups from N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfate, which combines with glucuronate to form the disaccharide unit of chondroitin-4-sulfate (C4S) (Bhattacharyya 2009) |
|
having potential vital role, due to its impact on chondroitin sulfation, on determination of the invasive phenotype of colonic epithelial cells (Bhattacharyya 2009) |
|
acting on dermatan sulfate |
|
catalyzing the third step of degradation of glucosaminoglycans (mucopolysaccharides) |
|
involved in the regulation of protein degradation, apoptosis, neuronal loss and neurodevelopment |
