Gene: [22q133/ARSA] arylsulfatase A (metachromatic leukodystrophy); metachromatic leukoencephalopathy (leukodystrophy); cerebral sclerosis, diffuse, metachromatic form (ARS-A deficiency); sulfatide lipidosis (ARS-A deficiency);

COM

Until 1984, all arylsulfatases had a common Enzyme Code EC:3.1.6.1.

FAG

Lysosomal arylsulfatases A and B and microsomal arylsulfatase C hydrolyze the sulfoester bond in arylsulfate groups. The genes of arylsulfatase C (isoenzymes F and S) are linked with chr X (GEM:0Xp2232/ARSC1; GEM:0X^/ARSC2). On the arylsulfatase B deficiency, see GEM:05q133/ARSB. See also tandem cluster GEM:0Xp2232/ARSD, GEM:0Xp2232/ARSE, GEM:0Xp2232/ARSF."
