Recombinant Human Sulfotransferase 2B1/SULT2B1 (C-6His)

Source: E. coli. MW :36.6kD. Recombinant Human Sulfotransferase 2B1 is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Glu311 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Sulfotransferase Family Cytosolic 2B Member 1(SULT2B1) is a member of the Sulfotransferase 1 family. SULT2B1 is highly expressed in the placenta, prostate, and trachea with lower expression levels in the small intestine and lung. SULT2B1 catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of numerous hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation enhances the water solubility of molecules, and therefore their renal excretion, however SULT2B1 can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Protein function: Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation increases the water solubility of most compounds, and therefore their renal excretion, but it can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Sulfates hydroxysteroids like DHEA. Isoform 1 preferentially sulfonates cholesterol, and isoform 2 avidly sulfonates pregnenolone but not cholesterol. [The UniProt Consortium]
