Background: Arylsulfatase A/ARSA
As a member of the sulfatase family, arylsulfatase A is encoded by the ARSA gene and required for the lysosomal degradation of cerebroside-3-sulfate, a sphingolipid sulfate ester and a major constituent of the myelin sheet (1). ARSA deficiency results in metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a lysosomal storage disease in the central and peripheral nervous systems with severe and progressive neurological symptoms (2). The deduced amino acid sequence of mouse ARSA consists of a signal peptide (residues 1-17) and a mature chain (residues 18-506) (3). Recombinant mouse ARSA corresponds to the mature chain and has sulfatase activity as described in Activity Assay Protocol.
