Function

Function:
Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation increases the water solubility of most compounds, and therefore their renal excretion, but it can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Sulfates hydroxysteroids like DHEA. Isoform 1 preferentially sulfonates cholesterol, and isoform 2 avidly sulfonates pregnenolone but not cholesterol.
Catalytic Activity:
3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + an alcohol = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + an alkyl sulfate.
Kinetics:
BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Kinetic parameters: KM=10.9 uM for DHEA (at 37 degrees Celsius, in the presence of 1 mM MgCl2)
Active Site:
ACT_SITE 125 125 Proton acceptor.
