General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity

Hydrolysis of the 6-sulfate groups of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate units of heparan sulfate and keratan sulfate.

Cofactor

Binds 1 calcium ion per subunit By similarity.

Subcellular location

Lysosome.

Post-translational modification

The form A (78 kDa) is processed by internal peptidase cleavage to a 32 kDa N-terminal species (form B) and a 48 kDa C-terminal species.

The conversion to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C-formylglycine, FGly), of a serine or cysteine residue in prokaryotes and of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes, is critical for catalytic activity By similarity.

Involvement in disease

Defects in GNS are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis type 3D (MPS3D) [MIM:252940]; also known as Sanfilippo D syndrome. MPS3D is a form of mucopolysaccharidosis type 3, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease due to impaired degradation of heparan sulfate. MPS3 is characterized by severe central nervous system degeneration, but only mild somatic disease. Onset of clinical features usually occurs between 2 and 6 years; severe neurologic degeneration occurs in most patients between 6 and 10 years of age, and death occurs typically during the second or third decade of life. Ref.8 Ref.10

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the sulfatase family.
