This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on sulfuric ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is polysaccharide-2-O-sulfo-D-glucuronate 2-sulfohydrolase. This enzyme is also called glucurono-2-sulfatase. This enzyme participates in glycosaminoglycan degradation and glycan structures - degradation.
