  ID: GNS_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase; EC=3.1.6.14; AltName: Full=Glucosamine-6-sulfatase; Short=G6S; Flags: Precursor;
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Hydrolysis of the 6-sulfate groups of the N- acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate units of heparan sulfate and keratan sulfate.
COFACTOR: Binds 1 calcium ion per subunit (By similarity).
INTERACTION: P16333:NCK1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1752200, EBI-389883;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lysosome.
PTM: The form A (78 kDa) is processed by internal peptidase cleavage to a 32 kDa N-terminal species (form B) and a 48 kDa C- terminal species.
PTM: 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 (By similarity).
DISEASE: Defects in GNS are the cause of mucopolysaccharidosis type 3D (MPS3D) [MIM:252940]; also known as Sanfilippo D syndrome. MPS3D is a 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.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the sulfatase family.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
