Summary: This gene encodes a member of the sulfotransferase family. Sulfotransferases aid in the metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds by converting these substances into more hydrophilic water-soluble sulfate conjugates that can be easily excreted. This protein catalyzes the sulfation of steroids and bile acids in the liver and adrenal glands, and may have a role in the inherited adrenal androgen excess in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Expression: Biased expression in liver (RPKM 300.0), adrenal (RPKM 86.0) and 2 other tissues See more

nine human SULT2A1 allozymes plus the wild-type SULT2A1 were found to display differential sulfating activity toward DHEA and tibolone. Kinetic analysis revealed that different SULT2A1 allozymes exhibited differential substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency toward the two substrates tested.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
