Function |
Hydrolyzes DNA under acidic conditions. Does not require divalent cations for activity. Participates in the degradation of nuclear DNA during lens cell differentiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11700027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12944971}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Lysosome {ECO:0000305}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in the eye lens and in salivary gland. Detected at lower levels in lung, prostate and lymph node. Isoform 2 is lung specific. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11376952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11700027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12944971}.
