Gene information for STS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID412
Official gene symbolSTS
Full namesteroid sulfatase (microsomal), isozyme S
Aliases,ARSC,ARSC1,ASC,ES,SSDD,XLI,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the conversion of sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens during pregnancy. The encoded protein is found in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it acts as a homodimer. Mutations in this gene are known to cause X-linked ichthyosis (XLI). [provided by RefSeq]
