Gene information for GNS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2799
Official gene symbolGNS
Full nameglucosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase
Aliases,G6S,MGC21274,
Gene summaryThe 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. [provided by RefSeq]
