basic FUNCTION	desulphating a number of 3beta-hydroxysteroid sulphates
	catalyzing the conversion of sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens during pregnancy
	playing a crucial role in the intra-mitochondrial movement of cholesterol
	may play a role in susceptibility for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Brookes 2008)
	membrane-bound microsomal enzyme that hydrolyzes various alkyl and aryl steroid sulfates (Nardi 2009)
