Alcohol sulfotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of primary and secondary alcohols including many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds.[1][2]
The chemical reaction is:
an alcohol + 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + an organosulfate + H+
