Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
This gene encodes a member of the sulfotransferase family. Sulfotransferases aid in the metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds by converting these substances into more hydrophilic water-soluble sulfate conjugates that can be easily excreted. This pr |

Protein name |
Sulfotransferase 2A1 (ST2A1) (EC 2.8.2.2) (Bile salt sulfotransferase) (EC 2.8.2.14) (Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase) (DHEA-ST) (DHEA-ST8) (Hydroxysteroid Sulfotransferase) (HST) (ST2) (SULT2A3) |
Protein function |
Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfonation of steroids and bile acids in the liver and adrenal glands. Mediates the sulfation of a wide range of steroids and sterols, inclu |
