Arylsulfatase

arylsulfatase
any of a group of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of a phenol sulfate to a phenol and sulfate. All sulfatases contain a cysteinyl residue that has been modified to a formylglycinyl residue required for activity. Arylsulfatases A, B, and C are common names for cerebroside-sulfatase, N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase, and steryl-sulfatase respectively. A cluster of genes at Xp222.3 encodes arylsulfatases C, D, E, and F. All are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and have a neutral-to-alkaline pH optimum. The gene for arylsulfatase E is involved in X-linked chondrodysplasia punctata.
