Bile salt sulfotransferase
Bile salt sulfotransferase also known as hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase or sulfotransferase 2A1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SULT2A1 gene.Function
enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. These cytosolic enzymes are different in their tissue distributions and substrate specificities. The gene structure is similar among family members. This gene is primarily expressed in liver and adrenal tissues where the encoded protein sulfonates steroids and bile acids.
