Description
Product Characteristics:
Belongs to the sulfatase family. Sulfatases such as ARSK, hydrolyze sulfate esters from sulfated steroids,carbohydrates, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. They are involved in hormone biosynthesis, modulation of cell signaling, and degradation of macromolecules.
Synonyms: arylsulfatase family member K, arylsulfatase K, Arylsulfatase K precursor, ASK, DKFZp313G1735, OTTHUMP00000149978, Telethon sulfatase, TSULF, ARSK_HUMAN.
Target Information: Sulfatases (EC 3.1.5.6), such as ARSK, hydrolyze sulfate esters from sulfated steroids, carbohydrates, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. They are involved in hormone biosynthesis, modulation of cell signaling, and degradation of macromolecules (Sardiello et al., 2005 [PubMed 16174644]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
