Function | Hydrolyzes high molecular weight hyaluronic acid to produce an intermediate-sized product which is further hydrolyzed by sperm hyaluronidase to give small oligosaccharides. Displays very low levels of activity. Associates with and negatively regulates MST1R. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11296287, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12676986, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9712871}. |
