In enzymology a steroid sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + a phenolic steroid adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate + steroid O-sulfateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 3′-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and phenolic steroid whereas its two products are adenosine 3’5′-bisphosphate and steroid O-sulfate.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically the sulfotransferases which transfer sulfur-containing groups.
