Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Exosulfatase involved in the degradation of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) heparan sulfate (HS). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 6-sulfate groups of the N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-sulfate units (PubMed:25002587). GAG-specific sulfatases play a key role in the persistence of the major human gut symbiont B.thetaiotaomicron in the host gastrointestinal tract (PubMed:25002587).
