Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
N -acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.14, glucosamine (N -acetyl)-6-sulfatase , systematic name N -acetyl-D -glucosamine-6-sulfate 6-sulfohydrolase ) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GNS gene .[5] It is deficient in Sanfilippo Syndrome type IIId.[6] [7] [8] It catalyses the hydrolysis of the 6-sulfate groups of the N -acetyl-D -glucosamine 6-sulfate units of heparan sulfate and keratan sulfate
Function [ edit ] N -acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase is a lysosomal enzyme found in all cells. It is involved in the catabolism of heparin , heparan sulphate , and keratan sulphate .[5]
Clinical significance [ edit ] Deficiency of this enzyme results in the accumulation of undergraded substrate and the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID (Sanfilippo D syndrome). Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID is the least common of the four subtypes of Sanfilippo syndrome .[5]
Nomenclature [ edit ] The systematic name of this enzyme is "N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-6-sulfate 6-sulfohydrolase". Other accepted names include:
N -acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase, glucosamine (N -acetyl)-6-sulfatase, 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D -glucose 6-sulfate sulfatase, N -acetylglucosamine 6-sulfate sulfatase, O,N -disulfate O -sulfohydrolase, acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase, chondroitinsulfatase, and glucosamine-6-sulfatase.
