Synonyms
Arylsulfatase A
Cerebroside Sulfatase
Cerebroside-3-sulfate 3-sulfohydrolase
Sulfatase, Sulfatidate
Sulfatidate Sulfatase
An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cerebroside 3-sulfate (sulfatide) to yield a cerebroside and inorganic sulfate. A marked deficiency of arylsulfatase A, which is considered the heat-labile component of cerebroside sulfatase, has been demonstrated in all forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy (LEUKODYSTROPHY, METACHROMATIC).
