SULT1C2

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 a protein that belongs to the SULT1 subfamily, responsible for transferring a sulfo moiety from PAPS to phenol-containing compounds. [provided by RefSeq]

sulfotransferase family, cytosolic, 1C, member 4

Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation. Sulfonates p-nitrophenol, a small phenolic compond. Does not sulfonate steroids, dopamine, acetaminophen, or alpha-naphthol (PubMed:9852044, PubMed:10783263, PubMed:10481272).
Catalyzes the sulfonation of the carcinogenic N-Hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene leading to highly reactive intermediates capable of forming DNA adducts, potentially resulting in mutagenesis (PubMed:9852044).
