Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme Arylsulfatase (EC 3.1.6.1, sulfatase, nitrocatechol sulfatase, phenolsulfatase, phenylsulfatase, p-nitrophenyl sulfatase, arylsulfohydrolase, 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfatase, estrogen sulfatase) is a type of sulfatase enzyme with systematic name aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
It catalyses an analogous reaction for sulfonated hexoses. Types include:
- Arylsulfatase A (also known as "cerebroside-sulfatase")
- Arylsulfatase B (also known as "N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase")
- Steroid sulfatase (formerly known as "arylsulfatase C")
- ARSC2
- ARSD
- ARSF
- ARSG
- ARSH
- ARSI
- ARSJ
- ARSK
- ARSL (formerly known as "arylsulfatase E", "ARSE")
