SUBCELLULAR LOCATION | Lysosome. |
SIMILARITY | Belongs to the sulfatase family. |
Post-translational modifications | The conversion to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C-formylglycine, FGly), of a serine or cysteine residue in prokaryotes and of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes, is critical for catalytic activity. |
DISEASE | Defects in SGSH are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis type 3A (MPS3A) [MIM:252900]; also known as Sanfilippo syndrome A. MPS3A is a severe form of mucopolysaccharidosis type 3, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease due to impaired degradation of heparan sulfate. MPS3 is characterized by severe central nervous system degeneration, but only mild somatic disease. Onset of clinical features usually occurs between 2 and 6 years; severe neurologic degeneration occurs in most patients between 6 and 10 years of age, and death occurs typically during the second or third decade of life. MPS3A is characterized by earlier onset, rapid progression of symptoms and shorter survival. |

Background Descriptions | Sulfatases are enzymes that hydrolyse a diverse range of sulfate esters. Deficiency of lysosomal sulfatases leads to human diseases characterized by the accumulation of either GAGs (glycosaminoglycans) or sulfolipids. Sulfamidase, also known as HSS, SFMD, MPS3A or SGSH, is a 502 amino acid lysosome that belongs to the sulfatase family. It has been suggested that sulfamidase may be involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate. Defects in the gene encoding sulfamidase are the cause of Sanfilippo syndrome A, an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by impaired degradation of heparan sulfate. Sanfilippo syndrome A is characterized by severe central nervous system degeneration but relatively mild somatic manifestations. |
