HPSE2
geneOn this page
Also known as HPA2HPR2
Summary
HPSE2 (heparanase 2 (inactive), HGNC:18374) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q24.2, encoding Inactive heparanase-2 (Q8WWQ2). Binds heparin and heparan sulfate with high affinity, but lacks heparanase activity.
This gene encodes a heparanase enzyme. The encoded protein is a endoglycosidase that degrades heparin sulfate proteoglycans located on the extracellular matrix and cell surface. This protein may be involved in biological processes involving remodeling of the extracellular matrix including angiogenesis and tumor progression. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Binds heparin and heparan sulfate with high affinity, but lacks heparanase activity. Inhibits HPSE, possibly by competing for its substrates (in vitro).
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with HPSE. Interacts with SDC1 (via glycan chains).
Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed, with the highest expression in brain, mammary gland, prostate, small intestine, testis and uterus. In the central nervous system, expressed in the spinal cord, caudate nucleus, thalamus, substantia nigra, medulla oblongata, putamen and pons. In the urinary bladder, expressed in longitudinal and circular layers of detrusor muscle. Found both in normal and cancer tissues.
Disease relevance. Urofacial syndrome 1 (UFS1) [MIM:236730] A rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by facial grimacing when attempting to smile and failure of the urinary bladder to void completely despite a lack of anatomical bladder outflow obstruction or overt neurological damage. Affected individuals often have reflux of infected urine from the bladder to the upper renal tract, with a risk of kidney damage and renal failure. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 79 family.
