QuickView for SULT2B1 (gene)

Gene Symbol:

SULT2B1 Homo sapiens

Full name:

sulfotransferase family 2B member 1

Synonyms:

ARCI14, HSST2, sulfotransferase family cytosolic 2B member 1, ST2B1, alcohol sulfotransferase, hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase 2, sulfotransferase 2B1, sulfotransferase family, cytosolic, 2B, member 1

Genomic Location:

Chr 19: 53747241-53794496

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 sulfates dehydroepiandrosterone bu...

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 sulfates dehydroepiandrosterone but not 4-nitrophenol, a typical substrate for the phenol and estrogen sulfotransferase subfamilies. Two alternatively spliced variants that encode different isoforms have been described.
