NCIt definition : Arylsulfatase A (507 aa, 54 kDa) is encoded by the human ARSA gene. This protein
is involved in the hydrolysis of cerebroside sulfate.;
NCIt note : The conversion of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes to 3-oxoalanine (also known as
C-formylglycine, FGly), is critical for catalytic activity. (UniProt); Mutation of the SUMF1 gene results in misprocessing of arylsulfatase A and all other
sulfatases leading to multiple sulfatase deficiency. (UniProt);
