    Summary
    Enables deoxyribonuclease II activity. Involved in apoptotic DNA fragmentation. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on negative regulation of antimicrobial peptide production. Located in lysosome. Is expressed in body wall musculature; head; intestinal cell; and vulva. Orthologous to human DNASE2B (deoxyribonuclease 2 beta) and DNASE2 (deoxyribonuclease 2, lysosomal).
