Function Catalyzes the removal of sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid) moities from glycoproteins and glycolipids. To be active, it is strictly dependent on its presence in the multienzyme complex. Appears to have a preference for alpha 2-3 and alpha 2-6 sialyl linkage. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9363440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}.
Subcellular Location Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}; Lumenal side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}. Lysosome lumen {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}. Cytoplasmic vesicle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}. Note=Localized not only on the inner side of the lysosomal membrane and in the lysosomal lumen, but also on the plasma membrane and in intracellular vesicles.
Tissue Specificity Highly expressed in kidney, epididymis, followed by brain, spinal cord and weakly expressed in adrenal, heart, liver, lung and spleen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9384611}.
