Sult2b1 - sulfotransferase family 2B member 1

Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity; steroid binding activity; and steroid sulfotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate metabolic process; cholesterol metabolic process; and positive regulation of epidermal cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within sulfate assimilation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 14. Orthologous to human SULT2B1 (sulfotransferase family 2B member 1).
