Galactosylceramide sulfotransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GAL3ST1 gene.Sulfonation an important step in the metabolism of many drugs xenobiotics hormones and neurotransmitters is catalyzed by sulfotransferases. The product of this gene is galactosylceramide sulfotransferase which catalyzes the conversion between 3′-phosphoadenylylsulfate + a galactosylceramide to adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate + galactosylceramide sulfate.
