Sialidase-3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NEU3 gene.This gene product belongs to a family of glycohydrolytic enzymes which remove sialic acid residues from glycoproteins and glycolipids. It is localized in the plasma membrane and its activity is specific for gangliosides. It may play a role in modulating the ganglioside content of the lipid bilayer.
