Sulfotransferase that uses 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate contributor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of catecholamines, phenolic hormones and drugs. Has also estrogen sulfotransferase activity.

responsible for the sulfonation and activation of minoxidil. Is Mediates the metabolic activation of carcinogenic N- hydroxyarylamines into DNA binding products and might so participate as modulating factor of cancer risk.
