DNase II is a ubiquitously expressed endonuclease that, in the absence of divalent cations, catalyzes DNA hydrolysis. DNASE2B (deoxyribonuclease II beta), also known as DLAD, is a 361 amino acid protein that shares structural and sequence similarity to DNase II. Expressed at high levels in salivary gland and eye tissues and at lower levels in prostate, lung and lymph node, DNASE2B localizes to the lysosome and functions to catalytically cleave nucleoside 3’-phosphates and 3’-phosphooligonucleotides. Via its endonucleolytic activity, DNASE2B hydrolyzes DNA under acidic conditions and plays a role in the degradation of nuclear DNA during lens differentiation within the eye. DNASE2B exists as two isoforms produced by alternative splicing events. While isoform one is found in tissues throughout the body, isoform two is expressed primarily in the lungs.
