Background
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.

Function
catalytic activity:3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + glycolithocholate = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + glycolithocholate 3-sulfate.,catalytic activity:3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + taurolithocholate = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + taurolithocholate sulfate.,function:Catalyzes the sulfation of steroids and bile acids in the liver and adrenal glands.,miscellaneous:Estrogens present in maternal circulation is predominantly derived from fetal dehydroepiandosterone sulfate which is hydrolyzed and metabolized to estrogens in placenta.,PTM:The N-terminus is blocked.,similarity:Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family.,subunit:Homodimer.,tissue specificity:Liver, adrenal and at lower level in the kidney. Is present in human fetus in higher level in the adrenal than the liver and the kidney.,
