Characterization of arylsulfatase C isozymes from human liver and placenta
Abstract
Arylsulfatase C and steroid sulfatase were thought to be identical enzymes. However, recent evidence showed that human arylsulfatase C consists of two isozymes, s and f. In this study, the biochemical properties of the s form partially purified from human placenta were compared with those of the f form from human liver. Only the placental s form has steroid sulfatase activity and hydrolyses estrone sulfate, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and …
