This gene encodes a protein that belongs to a large family of sulfatases that hydrolyze sulfate esters and sulfamates. Members of this family play a role in several cellular processes, including hormone synthesis, cell signaling in development and degradation of macromolecules. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be secreted, and to function in extracellular space. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016],cofactor:Binds 1 calcium ion per subunit.,PTM:The conversion to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C-formylglycine, FGly), of a serine or cysteine residue in prokaryotes and of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes, is critical for catalytic activity.,similarity:Belongs to the sulfatase family.,
