Gene information for IDUA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3425
Official gene symbolIDUA
Full nameiduronidase, alpha-L-
Aliases,IDA,MPS1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme that hydrolyzes the terminal alpha-L-iduronic acid residues of two glycosaminoglycans, dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate. This hydrolysis is required for the lysosomal degradation of these glycosaminoglycans. Mutations in this gene that result in enzymatic deficiency lead to the autosomal recessive disease mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I). [provided by RefSeq]
