Arylsulfatase A (or cerebroside-sulfatase) is an enzyme that breaks down sulfatides, namely cerebroside 3-sulfate into cerebroside and sulfate. In humans, arylsulfatase A is encoded by the ARSA gene.^[3][4]

Pathology

A deficiency is associated with metachromatic leukodystrophy, an autosomal recessive disease.^[5]

Biochemistry

Enzyme Regulation

Arylsulfatase A is inhibited by phosphate, which forms a covalent bond with the active site 3-oxoalanine.^[6]
