Amine sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.3) is an enzyme that transfers a sulfur-containing group from 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate to an amine. Its substrates are 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and an amine; its products are adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate and sulfamate. It belongs to the sulfotransferase family of transferases, which move sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name is 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:amine N-sulfotransferase. Other common names include arylamine sulfotransferase and amine N-sulfotransferase. This enzyme participates in sulfur metabolism.
