关于 SULT1C2

功能概要

磺基转移酶催化许多激素、神经递质、药物和异生化合物的硫酸盐结合。这些胞质酶的组织分布和底物特异性不同。家族成员之间的基因结构 (外显子的数量和长度) 相似。该基因编码属于 SULT1 亚家族的蛋白质，负责将磺基部分从 PAPS 转移到含酚化合物。已针对该基因描述了编码不同同种型的两种可变剪接转录物变体。[RefSeq 提供，2008 年 7 月]

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 belongs to the SULT1 subfamily, responsible for transferring a sulfo moiety from PAPS to phenol-containing compounds. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
