Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI; Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome) is the lysosomal storage disorder resulting from the deficient activity of N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B; ASB). MPS VI has been described in man, cats and rats, and several mutations in the ASB gene have been identified in human patients and the animal models. Notably, ASB belongs to a family of sulfatases which are highly...
