EC number 2.8.2.32 | ExPASy NiceZyme view MetaCyc | |
In enzymology, a scymnol sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.32) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
3'-Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate + 5beta-scymnol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3'-Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate and 5beta-scymnol, whereas its two products are adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate and 5beta-scymnol sulfate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the sulfotransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3'-Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate:5beta-scymnol sulfotransferase.
