title: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase gene (STD): localization to human chromosome band 19q13.3.
abstract: Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfotransferase (ST) catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of DHEA and other steroid compounds. The human gene for DHEA ST (STD) was mapped by the polymerase chain reaction to chromosome 19 using human x rodent somatic cell hybrid panels. Fluorescence in situ hybridization was then used to localize the STD gene to the region 19q13.3.
