Arsb Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase activity and arylsulfatase activity. Involved in dermatan sulfate proteoglycan catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within anterior head development. Located in cell surface. Is active in lysosome. Is expressed in skeleton. Used to study mucopolysaccharidosis VI. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucopolysaccharidosis VI. Orthologous to human ARSB (arylsulfatase B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Arsb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
