• Steroid sulfatase is recovered quantitatively from the 105,000 g h supernatant of human placental microsomes extracted with Triton X-100.
• Steroid sulfatase is synthesized as a membrane-bound Mr-63 500 polypeptide with asparagine-linked oligosaccharide chains.
• Steroid sulfatase is normally present in epithelial cells, fibroblasts, and leukocytes.
• Comparison of kinetic constants and inhibition patterns suggests that C2 sulfatase is structurally identical to human arylsulfatase A.
• The gene for iduronate sulfatase is on the X chromosome (in band Xq28).
