About GALNS

Cytogenetic location: 16q24.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:88,813,734-88,856,947 (from NCBI)

This gene has 13 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 4.9), testis (RPKM 3.4) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfatase which is a lysosomal exohydrolase required for the degradation of the glycosaminoglycans, keratan sulfate, and chondroitin 6-sulfate. Sequence alterations including point, missense and nonsense mutations, as well as those that affect splicing, result in a deficiency of this Enzyme. Deficiencies of this Enzyme lead to Morquio A syndrome, a lysosomal storage disorder. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
