CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	sulfotransferase, a major adrenal steroid, precursor for androgen and estrogen biosynthesis in peripheral tissues
	catalyzing the formation of DHEA-S
	involved in the fine control of target cell sensitivity to hormone action
	playing a potential role in the inherited adrenal androgen excess of polycystic ovary syndrome
