Choline sulfotransferase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a choline sulfotransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + choline $\rightleftharpoons$ adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + choline sulfate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and choline, whereas its two products are adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate and choline 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'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:choline sulfotransferase. This enzyme is also called choline sulphokinase. This enzyme participates in sulfur metabolism.
