Abstract
THREE arylsulphatases (arylsulphate sulphohydrolases E.C.3.1.6.1.) are known. Their distribution in the animal kingdom is very wide and their activity is low in such tissues as muscle and skin1,2 and high in liver and kidney2,3. There are some indications that arylsulphatase activity is modified in tumours2,4,5.
