Galactose-3-O-sulfotransferase
Encyclopedia
Galactose-3-O-sulfotransferases is a family of several mammalian galactose
-3-O-sulfotransferase
proteins. Gal-3-O-sulfotransferase is thought to play a critical role in 3'-sulfation
of N-acetyllactosamine in both O- and N-glycans.

Sulfotransferase
Sulfotransferases are transferase enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a sulfate group from a donor molecule to an acceptor alcohol or amine. The most common sulfate donor is 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate...

Sulfation
Sulfation in biochemistry is the enzyme-catalyzed addition of sulfate to another molecule. It often refers to a phase II enzyme reaction. This biotransformation process uses its cosubstrate 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate to transfer sulfate to a xenobiotic...
