Background
Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are Phase II metabolic enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sulfate groups to small molecules, hormones, and xenobiotics. This modification increases molecular polarity and promotes elimination from the body. Because sulfation regulates the activity and clearance of many endogenous metabolites and pharmaceuticals, accurate measurement of sulfotransferase activity is critical for metabolic and pharmacological research.
Pathways
Sulfotransferases function in the Phase II xenobiotic metabolism pathway, transferring sulfate from the universal donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS) to target molecules. This conjugation step often follows oxidative Phase I metabolism mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Together, these sequential metabolic processes control detoxification, metabolic clearance, and regulation of bioactive compounds.
