Gene:
sulfotransferase family 4A, member 1
Gene ID:
208202
Symbol:
SULT4A1
Species:
1000
Description:
Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. These cytosolic enzymes are different in their tissue distributions and substrate specificities. The gene structure (number and length of exons) is similar among family members. This gene encodes a protein that is selectively expressed in brain tissue.
