- 3'-Phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate + 5beta-scymnol 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.
