DEFINITION

Arylsulfatase A (507 aa, ~54 kDa) is encoded by the human ARSA gene. This protein is involved in the hydrolysis of cerebroside sulfate.

DesignNote

Mutation of the SUMF1 gene results in misprocessing of arylsulfatase A and all other sulfatases leading to multiple sulfatase deficiency. (UniProt)

The conversion of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C-formylglycine, FGly), is critical for catalytic activity. (UniProt)
