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

Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the SULT1A2 gene was downregulated in subcutaneous adipose tissue during short-term (0-5 month) weight loss in obese participants [Bollepalli et al. DOI:10.1038/ijo.2017.245].
