Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthetase 2is anenzymethat in humans is encoded by thePAPSS2gene.[5][6]
Sulfationis a common modification of endogenous (lipids,proteins,andcarbohydrates) and exogenous (xenobioticsand drugs) compounds. Inmammals,the sulfate source is 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS), created from ATP and inorganicsulfate.Two different tissueisoformsencoded by different genes synthesize PAPS. This gene encodes one of the two PAPS synthetases. Defects in this gene cause thePakistani type of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia.Two alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode differentisoformshave been described for this gene.[6]
