As. Khan et al., RAT PHENOL-PREFERRING SULFOTRANSFERASE GENES (STP AND STP2) - LOCALIZATION TO MOUSE CHROMOSOME-7 AND CHROMOSOME-17, Genomics, 26(2), 1995, pp. 417-419
The phenol-preferring sulfotransferases aryl sulfotransferase IV and N
-hydroxyarylamine sulfotransferase catalyze sulfate conjugation of N-h
ydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene, a metabolite capable of causing hepatoca
rcinogenesis in rats. We utilized published cDNA sequences of these su
lfotransferases to type the progeny of two multilocus crosses and dete
rmined that the genes, aryl sulfotransferase (Stp) and N-hydroxyarylam
ine sulfotransferase (Stp2), map to positions on mouse chromosomes 7 a
nd 17. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
