In enzymology a petromyzonol sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.31) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + 5alpha-cholan-3alpha7alpha12alpha24-tetrol adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate + 5alpha-cholan-3alpha7alpha12alpha-triol 24-sulfateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and 5alpha-cholan-3alpha7alpha12alpha24-tetrol whereas its two products are adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate and 5alpha-cholan-3alpha7alpha12alpha-triol 24-sulfate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the sulfotransferases which transfer sulfur-containing groups.
