Mammalian arylsulfatases A and B: relative rates of hydrolysis of artificial substrates
Abstract
Rodent and bovine arylsulfatase B hydrolyze 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfate (4MUS) 10- to 30-fold more efficiently than arylsulfatase A. Therefore, 4MUS grossly underestimates arylsulfatase A activity in the presence of excess arylsulfatase B.
