Gene name

GALNS (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

GALNAC6S, GAS

Description

Galactosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this enzyme. Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
