ARSK arylsulfatase family member K

Gene ID: 153642, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MPS10; TSULF

Summary

Sulfatases (EC 3.1.5.6), such as ARSK, hydrolyze sulfate esters from sulfated steroids, carbohydrates, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. They are involved in hormone biosynthesis, modulation of cell signaling, and degradation of macromolecules (Sardiello et al., 2005 [PubMed 16174644]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
