Full name:

sulfotransferase family 1A member 2

Synonyms:

HAST4, P-PST, ST1A2, STP2, TSPST2, sulfotransferase 1A2, P-PST 2, aryl sulfotransferase 2, arylamine sulfotransferase, phenol sulfotransferase 2, phenol-preferring phenol sulfotransferase2, phenol-sulfating phenol sulfotransferase 2, phenolic-metabolizing (P) form of PST, sulfotransferase family, cytosolic, 1A, phenol-preferring, member 2, thermostable phenol sulfotransferase

Genomic Location:

Chr 16: 28510767-28515892

Description:

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 sulfotra...

View Full Description

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. Two alternatively spliced variants that encode the same protein have been described.
