Heparanase is a mammalian endoglucuronidase responsible for heparan sulfate (HS) degradation. HS is a major constituent of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and HS-degrading activity plays a decisive role in fundamental biological processes associated with remodeling of the ECM, such as cancer metastasis, angiogenesis and inflammation. There is great interest in the prospect of genome-wide association studies to identify genetic factors underlying complex diseases.
