Hyal4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable hyalurononglucosaminidase activity. Predicted to be involved in hyaluronan catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic vesicle. Orthologous to human HYAL4 (hyaluronidase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Hyal4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
