Sulfotransferases are transferase enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sulfate group from a donor molecule to an acceptor alcohol or amine. The most common sulfate donor is 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). The destination alcohol or amine may be part of a protein, lipid, carbohydrate or steroid.

Examples

The following are examples of sulfotransferases:

• SULT2A1.
• Estrone sulfotransferase
• Chondroitin 4-sulfotransferase
