Rabbit anti-Human SULT1C2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

O00338

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SULT1C2

Target Full Name

Sulfotransferase 1C2

Target Function

Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation. Sulfonates p-nitrophenol, a small phenolic compond. Does not sulfonate steroids, dopamine, acetaminophen, or alpha-naphthol. Catalyzes the sulfonation of the carcinogenic N-Hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene leading to highly reactive intermediates capable of forming DNA adducts, potentially resulting in mutagenesis.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Lysosome.

Target Protein Families

Sulfotransferase 1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Found in adult stomach, kidney and thyroid gland, and in fetal kidney and liver.

Target Synonyms

humSULTC2; ST1C1 ; ST1C2; ST1C2_HUMAN; Sulfotransferase 1C1; Sulfotransferase 1C2; Sulfotransferase family cytosolic 1C member 1; Sulfotransferase family cytosolic 1C member 2; SULT1C#1; SULT1C1 ; SULT1C2

Target Background

Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. These cytosolic enzymes are different in their tissue distributions and substrate specificities. The gene structure (number and length of exons) is similar among family members. This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the SULT1 subfamily, responsible for transferring a sulfo moiety from PAPS to phenol-containing compounds. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
