Protein attributes

Sequence length	532 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Responsible for the degradation of GM2 gangliosides, and a variety of other molecules containing terminal N-acetyl hexosamines. This enzyme plays a role during the slug stage of development in the maintenance of pseudoplasmodia of normal size. Ref.1
Catalytic activity	Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing N-acetyl-D-hexosamine residues in N-acetyl-beta-D-hexosaminides.
Subunit structure	Dimer. Ref.3
Subcellular location	Lysosome. Ref.1
Post-translational modification	The N-terminus is blocked. N-glycosylated. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 20 family.
