Gene information for SULT1A2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6799
Official gene symbolSULT1A2
Full namesulfotransferase family, cytosolic, 1A, phenol-preferring, member 2
Aliases,HAST4,MGC142287,MGC142289,P-PST,ST1A2,STP2,TSPST2,
Gene summarySulfotransferase 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. [provided by RefSeq]
