Anti-PAPSS1 (C-term A607) Antibody

Sulfotransferase (SULT) enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many drugs, xenobiotic compounds, hormones, and neurotransmitters. 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) synthase (PAPSS) catalyzes the biosynthesis of PAPS which serves as the universal sulfonate donor compound for all sulfotransferase reactions. In humans, PAPS is synthesized from adenosine 5-prime triphosphate (ATP) and inorganic sulfate by 2 isoforms, PAPSS1 and PAPSS2 (603005). Bifunctional PAPSS1 is comprised of an N-terminal APS kinase domain, and a C-terminal ATP sulfurylase domain. Full-length protein has significantly less APS kinase activity than the N-terminal fragment, suggesting that the C-terminal domain exerts a regulatory role on the N-terminal APS kinase activity. In humans there are two major isoforms: PAPSS1 and PAPSS2. In brain and skin PAPSS1 is the major isoform, whereas in liver, cartilage and adrenal glands PAPSS2 isoform expression dominates. The predicted 623-amino acid protein is 98% identical to mouse PAPS synthase. The N-terminal 268-amino acid region of human PAPS synthase resembles APS kinases from other organisms and contains 3 conserved nucleotide-binding motifs.
