The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the sulfatase family, is localized to the lysosome, and is involved in lysosomal degradation of heparan sulfate and dermatan sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with the X-linked lysosomal storage disease, mucopolysaccharidosis type II, also known as Hunter syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
