Enables beta-glucuronidase activity. Involved in chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process; heparan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process; and hyaluronan catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within carbohydrate metabolic process. Located in extracellular space. Is active in lysosomal lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; sensory organ; and viscerocranium. Used to study mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucopolysaccharidosis type VII. Orthologous to human GUSB (glucuronidase beta).
