Arylsulfatase (EC 3.1.6.1, sulfatase, nitrocatechol sulfatase, phenolsulfatase, phenylsulfatase, p-nitrophenyl sulfatase, arylsulfohydrolase, 4-methylumbelliferyl sulfatase, estrogen sulfatase) is a type of sulfatase enzyme with systematic name aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

a phenol sulfate + H2O ⇌ a phenol + sulfate

This group of enzymes has similar specificities.

Types include:

  • Arylsulfatase A (also known as "cerebroside-sulfatase")
  • Arylsulfatase B (also known as "N-Acetylgalactosamine-4-Sulfatase")
  • Steroid sulfatase (formerly known as "Arylsulfatase C")
  • ARSC2
  • ARSD
  • ARSE
  • ARSF
  • ARSG
  • ARSH
  • ARSI
  • ARSJ
  • ARSK
