Recombinant Human Sulfotransferase 1A2/SULT1A2 (N-6His)

Source: E. coli. MW :36.4kD. Recombinant Human Sulfotransferase 1A2 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Leu295 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Sulfotransferase 1A2 (SULT1A2) is a member of the Sulfotransferase 1 family. Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. SULT1A2 is a cytoplasmic protein and exists as a homodimer. SULT1A2 mediates the metabolic activation of carcinogenic N-hydroxyarylamines to DNA binding products and might thus participate as a modulating factor of cancer risk. Protein function: Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of catecholamines, phenolic drugs and neurotransmitters. Is also responsible for the sulfonation and activation of minoxidil. Mediates the metabolic activation of carcinogenic N-hydroxyarylamines to DNA binding products and could so participate as modulating factor of cancer risk. [The UniProt Consortium]
