Anti-SULT2B1 (Sulfotransferase Family, Cytosolic, 2B, Member 1, Alcohol Sulfotransferase, HSST2, Hyd

SulT2B1 is a 45-48kD member of the sulfotransferase 1 family of enzymes. SulT2B1 is widely expressed, being found in platelets, stratum granulosum keratinocytes, breast and prostatic epithelium, and syncytiotrophoblast cells. SulT2B1 catalyzes the sulfonation of DHEA, a precursor for sex steroids, and cholesterol, which supports stratification of the epidermis. Human SulT2B1 is 365aa in length. There are PAPS binding sites between aa70-75 and 147-155, a myristoylation motif between aa255-259, and a Pro-rich region between aa305-364 that may extend enzyme half-life. There is one 43kD splice form (ST2B1a) that shows an eight aa substitution for aa1-23. It is expressed in fetal brain and generates pregnenolone sulfate, a steroid that modulates neurotransmitters. Full-length human SulT2B1 shares 71% aa identity with mouse SulT2B1. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.
