| Gene Symbol | NEU1 |
| Function | NEU1 encodes neuraminidase 1, also known as sialidase 1, a lysosomal enzyme that cleaves terminal sialic acid residues from glycoproteins, glycolipids, and oligosaccharides. |
| Primary Expression | neurons throughout the cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia, and cerebellum |
| Subcellular Localization | and stability in the lysosome |
