Other Information

**Key characteristics** * The GNS gene is located on chromosome 15q21.1. * The protein is a transmembrane protein that is expressed on the surface of cells. * The protein is a glycoprotein that is composed of 140 amino acids. * The protein is a member of the sulfotransferase family of enzymes. * The protein is involved in the degradation of glucosamine and its derivatives. * The protein is also involved in the regulation of inflammation and cell migration. **Pathways and functions** The GNS gene product is involved in a variety of pathways, including: * The degradation of glucosamine and its derivatives * The regulation of inflammation * The regulation of cell migration **Clinical significance** Mutations in the GNS gene have been linked to a number of human diseases, including: * Sanfilippo syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that is characterized by a build-up of glycosaminoglycans in the eyes and other tissues. * Mucopolysaccharidoses, a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by a build-up of glycosaminoglycans in the joints, eyes, and other tissues. * Kidney diseases, including nephropathies and glomerulonephritis. * Inflammation disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. **Additional information** * The GNS gene is also involved in the regulation of cell migration. * The protein is also involved in the formation of the extracellular matrix, which is a network of proteins and polysaccharides that helps to hold cells together. * The GNS gene is a promising target for the treatment of a variety of diseases, including Sanfilippo syndrome and mucopolysaccharidoses.
