Abstract

A mutant arylsulfatase B form is described in skin fibroblasts from a patient with Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome. This mutant enzyme is identical in its electrophoretic mobility and antigenic determinants to arylsulfatase B from normal fibroblasts but has a markedly reduced (15%) specific activity.
