    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in glycosaminoglycan catabolism
  • also involved in cell migration during embryonic development
  • its activity requires active site acidic and tyrosine residues (Zhang 2009)
  • involved in the angiogenic and invasive front of tumors
  • degrade hyaluronic acid, which promotes metastasis and and is an independent prognostic indicator of prostate cancer progression and a biomarker for bladder cancer
  • implicated in cancer proliferation, angiogenesis, and inflammatory diseases (Chao 2007)
