Function Lysosomal acetyltransferase that acetylates the non- reducing terminal alpha-glucosamine residue of intralysosomal heparin or heparan sulfate, converting it into a substrate for luminal alpha-N-acetyl glucosaminidase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16960811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17033958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19823584, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20650889}.
Subcellular Location Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16960811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17033958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16960811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17033958, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897319}. Note=Colocalizes with the lysosomal marker LAMP2. The signal peptide is not cleaved upon translocation into the endoplasmic reticulum; the precursor is probably targeted to the lysosomes via the adapter protein complex-mediated pathway that involves tyrosine- and/or dileucine-based conserved amino acid motifs in the last C-terminus 16-amino acid domain.
Tissue Specificity Widely expressed, with highest level in leukocytes, heart, liver, skeletal muscle, lung, placenta and liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16960811, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17033958}.
