Sanfilippo syndrome comprises several forms of lysosomal storage diseases due to impaired degradation of heparan sulfate. The deficient enzyme in Sanfilippo syndrome C, or MPS IIIC, is an acetyltransferase that catalyzes the conversion of alpha-glucosaminide residues to N-acetylglucosaminide in the presence of acetyl-CoA.
