	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
	intracellular,nucleus
text	colocalization with tubulin may indicate a connection of SULT2B1 to the cytoskeleton

basic FUNCTION	hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase, regulating the activity of adrenal androgens in tissues via their inactivation by sulfation
	may be playing a regulatory role that protect against the mitogenic effects of androgens
	catalyzes the sulfoconjugation of cholesterol to synthesize cholesterol sulfate (CS)
	important role of SULT2B1 in the regulation of epidermal proliferation and differentiation and for constitution and maintenance of the barrier function in human skin
	role of the sulfotransferase SULT2B1 in the regulation of the human epidermal cholesterol metabolism and thereby in the maintenance of a functional cutaneous permeability barrier
	key role of SULT2B1 in homeostasis and barrier function of the human skin by providing cholesterol sulfate, an important regulator of the keratinocyte differentiation
