Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase activity. Involved in heparan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process. Is active in lysosomal lumen. Is expressed in central nervous system; eye; and long bone epiphyseal plate. Used to study mucopolysaccharidosis III and mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIC and retinitis pigmentosa 73. Orthologous to human HGSNAT (heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase).
