Did you mean Sulfotransferase?

GlossarySulfotransferase

enzyme that attaches sulfate groups to other molecules

Sulfotransferase is an enzyme that adds sulfate groups to molecules, a process known as sulfation. This modification can change the function or activity of the target molecules, which often include hormones, drugs, and proteins. In the context of hair biology, sulfotransferases can influence hair growth and health by modifying signaling molecules involved in these processes.
