Generic protein structure example

Sialidase-4 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NEU4 gene.[1]

Function

This gene belongs to a family of glycohydrolytic enzymes which remove sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids.[1]

Interactions

Sialidase-4 has been shown to interact with phospholipid scramblase 1.[2]
