Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that degrades heparan sulfate by hydrolysis of terminal N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminides. Defects in this gene are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS-IIIB), also known as Sanfilippo syndrome B. This disease is characterized by the lysosomal accumulation and urinary excretion of heparan sulfate. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 14.8), fat (RPKM 12.3) and 25 other tissues See more

findings show that the NAGLU protein consists of a precursor and a mature form and that in slowly progressing mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB patients' fibroblasts only the precursor protein is present at 37 degrees ; culturing at lower temperatures resulted in the formation of the mature, enzymatically active form, due to higher mRNA levels and improved processing

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
