SULT1A1 sulfotransferase family 1A member 1

Gene ID: 6817, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PST; STP; STP1; P-PST; ST1A1; ST1A3; TSPST1; ts-PST; P-PST 1; HAST1/HAST2

Summary

Sulfotransferase 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 (number and length of exons) is similar among family members. This gene encodes one of two phenol sulfotransferases with thermostable enzyme activity. Multiple alternatively spliced variants that encode two isoforms have been identified for this gene.
