PAPSS2 — 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthase 2
PAPSS2 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 2 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Bifunctional enzyme with both ATP sulfurylase and APS kinase activity, which mediates two steps in the sulfate activation pathway. The first step is the transfer of a sulfate group to ATP to yield adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate (APS), and the second step is the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to APS yielding 3'- phosphoadenylylsulfate/PAPS, the activated sulfate donor used by sulfotransferases. In mammals, PAPS is the sole source of sulfate while APS appears to only be an intermediate in the sulfate-activation pathway. Plays indirectly an important role in skeletogenesis during postnatal growth.
