| Entrez gene ID | | 4759 |
| Official gene symbol | | NEU2 |
| Full name | | sialidase 2 (cytosolic sialidase) |
| Aliases | | ,MGC129579,SIAL2, |
| Gene summary | | This gene belongs to a family of glycohydrolytic enzymes which remove sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids. Expression studies in COS7 cells confirmed that this gene encodes a functional sialidase. Its cytosolic localization was demonstrated by cell fractionation experiments. [provided by RefSeq] |
