A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of ARSA antibody, Alternative Names: ARSA control peptide, ARSA antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-ARSA Blocking Peptide, Arylsulfatase A Blocking Peptide, MLD Blocking Peptide
The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes cerebroside sulfate to cerebroside and sulfate. Defects in this gene lead to metachromatic leucodystrophy (MLD), a progressive demyelination disease which results in a variety of neurological symptoms and ultimately death. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, one of which encodes a distinct protein, have been described for this gene.
