An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Galactosylceramide sulfotransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GAL3ST1 gene.[1][2][3] Sulfonation, an important step in the metabolism of many drugs, xenobiotics, hormones, and neurotransmitters, is catalyzed by sulfotransferases. The product of this gene is galactosylceramide sulfotransferase which catalyzes the conversion between 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate + a galactosylceramide to adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + galactosylceramide sulfate. Activity of this sulfotransferase is enhanced in renal cell carcinoma.[3]
