en Sulfotransferase

In biochemistry, sulfotransferases (SULTs) are transferase enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sulfo group (R−SO−3) from a donor molecule to an acceptor alcohol (R−OH) or amine (R−NH₂).^[1] The most common sulfo group donor is 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). In the case of alcohol as acceptor, the product is a sulfate (R−OSO−3):

{\ce {R-SO3-}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-OH}}\quad {\xrightarrow[{\text{ SULT }}]{}}\quad {\ce {R-H}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-OSO3-}}

whereas an amine leads to a sulfamate (R−NH−SO−3):

{\ce {R-SO3-}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-NH2}}\quad {\xrightarrow[{\text{ SULT }}]{}}\quad {\ce {R-H}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-NHSO3-}}

Both reactive groups for a sulfonation via sulfotransferases may be part of a protein, lipid, carbohydrate or steroid.^[2]
