Abstract

3′-Phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate transporters (PAPSTs) play an important role in transporting 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphosulfate (PAPS), the universal sulfuryl donor for sulfation, from the cytosol into the lumen of the Golgi apparatus. Here, we describe three methods for the analysis of PAPST; a transporter activity assay with yeast or mammalian cell fraction, real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on tissue samples, and immunohistochemistry on brain sections.
