Zebrafish Gnsa Antibody / N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase

N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase, also known as glucosamine (N-acetyl) -6-sulfatase, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GNS gene. The product of this gene is a lysosomal enzyme found in all cells. It is involved in the catabolism of heparin, heparan sulphate, and keratan sulphate. Deficiency of this enzyme results in the accumulation of undegraded substrate and the lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID (Sanfilippo D syndrome) . Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID is the least common of the four subtypes of Sanfilippo syndrome.
