N-Acetylgalactosamine-4-Sulfatase/N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-Sulfatase [Enzymatic activity ratio] in Urine
Active
Term Description
The ratio of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase to N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase helps differentiate between Morquio A syndrome and Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. Morquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA) is associated with a deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfatase, while Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis VI), is associated with a loss or decreased activity of N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase.
Part Description
LP14031-6 N-Acetylgalactosamine-4-Sulfatase
An arylsulfatase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 4-sulfate groups of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 4-sulfate units of chondroitin sulfate and dermatan sulfate. A deficiency of this enzyme is responsible for the inherited lysosomal disease, Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDOSIS VI). EC 3.1.6.12.
