Facts about Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 1.
In mammals, PAPS is the sole source of sulfate; APS seems to be an intermediate in the sulfate- activation pathway (PubMed:9576487, PubMed:9668121, PubMed:9648242, PubMed:14747722). Required for normal biosynthesis of sulfated L-selectin ligands in endothelial cells (PubMed:9576487).
