Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables alcohol sulfotransferase activity and steroid sulfotransferase activity. Involved in steroid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within sulfation. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; facial prominence; hemolymphoid system gland; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer. Orthologous to human SULT2A1 (sulfotransferase family 2A member 1).
