Mouse Iduronate 2-Sulfatase/IDS Antibody

As a member of the sulfatase family, Iduronate 2-Sulfatase encoded by the IDS gene is required for the lysosomal degradation of the glycosaminoglycans (GAG) heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate (1, 2). It hydrolyzes the 2-sulfate group of the L-iduronate 2-sulfate units of the GAG. The IDS deficiency results in mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II or Hunter syndrome), an X-linked inborn error leading to lysosomal accumulation of the GAG and their excretion in urine. MPS II has a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from mild to severe. The mouse IDS has sulfatase activity. In addition, recombinant human IDS is also available (Catalog # http://www.rndsystems.com/product_results.aspx?k=2449-SU">2449-SU).
