Background: N-Acetylgalactosamine-6-Sulfatase/GALNS

GALNS is a lysosomal sulfatase that hydrolyzes the 6-sulfate groups of the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine 6-sulfate units of chondroitin sulfate and of the D-galactose 6-sulfate units of keratan sulfate (1). The conversion to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C-formylglycine, FGly) of a cysteine residue is critical for catalytic activity of the enzyme (2). Deficiencies of this enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome or mucopolysaccharidosis 4A (MPS4A), a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by intracellular accumulation of keratan sulfate and chondroitin-6-sulfate (3). Key clinical features of this disease include short stature, skeletal dysplasia, dental anomalies, and corneal clouding (4). Current therapeutic method for lysosomal storage diseases is enzyme replacement therapy (5).
