Biological function summary
The role of SULT2A1 extends to the regulation of hormones by sulfurylation which makes compounds more soluble and ready for excretion. This process effectively deactivates certain steroid hormones thereby modulating their activity within the body. SULT2A1 does not typically form part of a larger complex but works independently in modifying steroid substrates. The enzyme's activity allows for regulation of hormone availability and subsequently holds substantial influence over multiple physiological processes.
Pathways
SULT2A1 is active in the steroid metabolism and catabolic pathways. It functions alongside other enzymes like CYP3A4 a cytochrome P450 enzyme to transform and clear hormone derivatives from the body. This cooperation is important for maintaining hormonal balance by converting active hormones into less active forms or preparing them for elimination. SULT2A1 contributes specifically to the homeostasis of androgen and estrogen metabolism through the sulfate conjugation pathway regulating the sensitivity of tissues to these hormones.

General info
Function
Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfonation of steroids and bile acids in the liver and adrenal glands. Mediates the sulfation of a wide range of steroids and sterols, including pregnenolone, androsterone, DHEA, bile acids, cholesterol and as well many xenobiotics that contain alcohol and phenol functional groups (PubMed : 14573603, PubMed : 18042734, PubMed : 19589875, PubMed : 21187059, PubMed : 2268288, PubMed : 29671343, PubMed : 7678732, PubMed : 7854148). Sulfonation increases the water solubility of most compounds, and therefore their renal excretion, but it can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Plays an important role in maintening steroid and lipid homeostasis (PubMed : 14573603, PubMed : 19589875, PubMed : 21187059). Plays a key role in bile acid metabolism (PubMed : 2268288). In addition, catalyzes the metabolic activation of potent carcinogenic polycyclic arylmethanols (By similarity).
