| Function |
Atypical sulfotransferase family member with very low affinity for 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) and very low catalytic activity towards L-triiodothyronine, thyroxine, estrone, p-nitrophenol, 2-naphthylamine, and 2-beta-naphthol. May have a role in the metabolism of drugs and neurotransmitters in the CNS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17425406}.

| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in the cerebral cortex and frontal lobe, slightly less in the cerebellum, occipital and temporal lobes, relatively low in the medulla and putamen, and lowest in the spinal cord. No expression detected in the pancreas (PubMed:10698717). Highly expressed in fetal brain and occipital lobe, slightly less in the whole brain, frontal lobe, hippocampus, and lung, very low expression in cerebellum, medulla oblongata, temporal lobe, testis, kidney and appendix (PubMed:12039030). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10698717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12039030}.
