In biochemistry, sulfotransferases (SULTs) are transferase enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sulfo group (R−SO−3) from a donor molecule to an acceptor alcohol (R−OH) or amine (R−NH2).[1] The most common sulfo group donor is 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate (PAPS). In the case of alcohol as acceptor, the product is a sulfate (R−OSO−3):
![{\displaystyle {\ce {R-SO3-}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-OH}}\quad {\xrightarrow[{\text{ SULT }}]{}}\quad {\ce {R-H}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-OSO3-}}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/309f6adbd894014d72d03faf7b24c04b81e1f235)
whereas an amine leads to a sulfamate (R−NH−SO−3):
![{\displaystyle {\ce {R-SO3-}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-NH2}}\quad {\xrightarrow[{\text{ SULT }}]{}}\quad {\ce {R-H}}\ +\ {\ce {R'-NHSO3-}}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/b5606063c04db8ea36fe2dd0674ec64f45c93be9)
Both reactive groups for a sulfonation via sulfotransferases may be part of a protein, lipid, carbohydrate or steroid.[2]
