GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

ARSA

Description

arylsulfatase A

Protein class

Enzymes, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potentially secreted proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
