– N-Sulphoglucosamine Sulphohydrolase (SGSH) is an important member of the sulfatase family which is involved in the degradation of heparin sulfate. SGSH binds one calcium ion per subunit as a cofactor. SGSH catalyzes N-sulfo-D-glucosamine and H2O to D-glucosamine and sulfate. SGSH deficiency is result in mucopolysaccharidosis type 3A (MPS3A), a recessive lysosomal storage disease characterized by neurological dysfunction but relatively mild somatic manifestations.
