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–NH
2).[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):
- [math]\displaystyle{ \ce{R-SO3-} \ + \ \ce{R'-OH} \quad \xrightarrow[\text{ SULT }]{} \quad \ce{R-H} \ + \ \ce{R'-OSO3-} }[/math]
whereas an amine leads to a sulfamate (R–NH–SO−
3):
- [math]\displaystyle{ \ce{R-SO3-} \ + \ \ce{R'-NH2} \quad \xrightarrow[\text{ SULT }]{} \quad \ce{R-H} \ + \ \ce{R'-NHSO3-} }[/math]
Both reactive groups for a sulfonation via sulfotransferases may be part of a protein, lipid, carbohydrate or steroid.[2]
