PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a catalytic domain that adopts a distorted (beta/alpha)8 barrel resembling that of bee venom hyaluronidase
	a novel, EGF-like domain, characteristic of involvement in protein-protein interactions and regulatory processes (Chao 2007)
	acetyltransferase (GNAT) and proline-rich domains
	acidic site and tyrosine residues
	C-terminal epidermal growth factor-like domain

HOMOLOGY

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)
