Arylsulfatase

Arylsulfatase an enzyme that Catalyzes the hydrolysis of Phenol Sulfates, including Cerebroside Sulfates (a phenol sulfate + H2O → a phenol + sulfate anion).

• Types:
  • Arylsulfatase A (also known as "cerebroside-sulfatase")
  • Arylsulfatase B (also known as "N-Acetylgalactosamine-4-Sulfatase"
• Example(s):
  • K. aerogenes W70 http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P20713
  • PMID 72063: “Antibody directed against the purified arylsulfatase from K. aerogenes W70 was obtained from rabbits and characterized by immunoelectrophoresis, double-diffusion, quantitative precipitation, and enzyme neutralization tests.Arylsulfatase was located in the periplasmic space when the wild-type strain was cultured with methionine or with inorganic sulfate plus tyramine, but not with inorganic sulfate without tyramine, as the sole sulfur source”
