Arylsulfatase

Arylsulfatase (EC 3.1.6.1, sulfatase, nitrocatechol sulfatase, phenolsulfatase, phenylsulfatase, p-nitrophenyl sulfatase, arylsulfohydrolase, 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfatase, estrogen sulfatase) is a type of sulfatase enzyme with systematic name aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * an aryl sulfate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ a phenol + sulfate

It catalyses an analogous reaction for sulfonated hexoses. Types include:
 * Arylsulfatase A (also known as "cerebroside-sulfatase")
 * Arylsulfatase B (also known as "N-acetylgalactosamine-4-sulfatase")
 * Steroid sulfatase (formerly known as "arylsulfatase C")
 * ARSC2
 * ARSD
 * ARSF
 * ARSG
 * ARSH
 * ARSI
 * ARSJ
 * ARSK
 * ARSL (formerly known as "arylsulfatase E", "ARSE")
