Function | Has ribonuclease activity, with higher activity at acidic pH. Probably is involved in lysosomal degradation of ribosomal RNA (By similarity). Probably plays a role in cellular RNA catabolism. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16620762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19525954, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22735700}. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. Lysosome lumen. Endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Note=Subcellular fractionation of transfected ovarian cancer cells reveals full-length RNASET2 in the endoplasmic reticulum fraction and the 2 smaller RNASET2 proteolytic products in the lysosome fraction. |
Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. Higher expression levels observed in the temporal lobe and fetal brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19525954}. |
