Scymnol sulfotransferase

In enzymology, a scymnol sulfotransferase (EC number|2.8.2.32) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate + 5beta-scymnol $ightleftharpoons$ adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + 5beta-scymnol sulfate

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.
