Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of ARSA in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: 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]
