Gene information for SULT1A1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6817
Official gene symbolSULT1A1
Full namesulfotransferase family, cytosolic, 1A, phenol-preferring, member 1
Aliases,HAST1/HAST2,MGC131921,MGC5163,P-PST,PST,ST1A1,ST1A3,STP,STP1,TSPST1,
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. Multiple alternatively spliced variants that encode two isoforms have been identified for this gene.
