EC 2.8.2.20

Accepted name: protein-tyrosine sulfotransferase

Reaction: 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + protein tyrosine = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + protein tyrosine-O-sulfate

Glossary: 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate = PAPS

Other name(s): tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase; 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:protein-tyrosine O-sulfotransferase

Systematic name: 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:protein-tyrosine O-sulfonotransferase

Comments: The tyrosine residues of some specific proteins of rat pheochromocytoma cells act as acceptors.
