Function
ST2A8_MOUSE Hepatic sulfotransferase involved in the maintenance of bile acid homeostasis and energy balance. Catalyzes the transfer of sulfonate group from 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate (PAPS) to the 7-alpha hydroxy group of primary bile acids to form 7-monosulfate derivatives in the pathway of bile acid elimination. Displays high catalytic efficiency toward cholate, chenodeoxycholate and their glycine and taurine conjugates.[1] [2] [3]
