N-Acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (GNS) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the removal of sulfate groups from N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfate residues in heparan sulfate. It is essential for the degradation of glycosaminoglycans[^1].
GNS performs functions:
GNS mutations cause MPS IIIB:
GNS is expressed in:
