About GNS

Summary

Enables N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase activity; glycosaminoglycan binding activity; and sulfate binding activity. Involved in keratan sulfate catabolic process. Located in lysosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucopolysaccharidosis III and mucopolysaccharidosis type IIID. Orthologous to human GNS (glucosamine (N-acetyl)-6-sulfatase).
