which the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans or sulfolipids can cause early infant death. This disease can be further differentiated into neonatal, late infantile, and juvenile, with neonatal being the most severe. Common symptoms include ichthyosis, hypotonia, skeletal abnormalities, and overall cognitive decline. In 2017 Weidner et al., found an association with SUMF1 expression and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) development. As of January 2020, there were more than 100 reported cases worldwide of MSD. Known substrates for SUMF1 are: N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS), arylsulfatase A (ARSA), steroid sulfatase (STS) and arylsulfatase E (ARSE); all molecules that contain cysteine. FGE converts this cysteine group into C-𝛼-formylglycine. SUMF1 occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum or its lumen. References Protein domains
