Gene: SLC16A6

Alternate names for this Gene: MCT6|MCT7

Gene Summary:

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q24.2

Description of this Gene: solute carrier family 16 member 6

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: ARSG

Alternate names for this Gene: USH4

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the sulfatase enzyme family. Sulfatases hydrolyze sulfate esters from sulfated steroids, carbohydrates, proteoglycans, and glycolipids. They are involved in hormone biosynthesis, modulation of cell signaling, and degradation of macromolecules. This protein displays arylsulfatase activity at acidic pH, as is typical of lysosomal sulfatases, and has been shown to localize in the lysosomes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
