{"symbol":"NEU2","synonyms":["SIAL2"],"name":"sialidase 2 (cytosolic sialidase)","description":"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.
