Heparanase (NP_001092010) is a heparin-binding endo-β-D-glucuronidase expressed by normal lacrimal gland (GEO Profiles: GDS1361), corneal epithelia (Berk et al, 2004), retinal pigment epithelium/choroid, lens (NEIBank) and some non-ocular tissues. Heparanase is overexpressed in essentially all human tumors examined. Western blotting suggests that heparanase is a constituent of normal tears (Ma, Laurie, unpublished). 119+/− 37 pg/ml of active heparanase has been detected in normal saliva. Heparanase belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 79. The heparanase gene ‘HPSE’comprises fourteen exons over 39.8 kb of human chromosome 4, and forty-three orthologues have been documented (Ensembl release 57). HPSE is well-conserved from bony fish to human. Secreted heparanase in humans is 508 amino acids long, with a theoretical molecular weight and pI of 57.7 kDa and 9.2, respectively. Migration in SDS PAGE is approximately 65 kDa, in keeping with N-linked high mannose glycosylation at as many as six predicted sites (NetNGlyc 1.0). No O-glycosylation is predicted above threshold (NetOGlyc 3.1). Three splice variants have been recently reported (Barash et al, 2010) which vary in amino acid length, predicted molecular weight and charge as follows: 1)‘T5’: 15.6 kDa and pI 6.9; 2)‘T4’: 28.3 kDa and pI 8.8; and 3)‘Skip 10’: 39.2 kDa and pI 8.4. Several other splice variants are predicted by Aceview. Heparanase activation is a twostep process of secretion and endocytic uptake. Secretion requires a disulfide bond between Cys437 and Cys542. Endocytocytic uptake subjects heparanase to cathepsin L excision of a 6 kDa linker segment between Ser110 and Gln157, thereby releasing N-(8 kDa) and C-(50 kDa) terminal subunits that subsequently heterodimerize into a TIM barrel fold (Fig. 1, residues 36-417) characteristic of other glycosidases. The fold, together with a 130 amino acid C-terminal domain, is responsible for binding and cleaving heparan sulfate (Fux et al, 2009).
