Renilla-luciferin sulfotransferase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a Renilla-luciferin sulfotransferase (EC 2.8.2.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + Renilla luciferin
adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + luciferyl sulfate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and Renilla luciferin, whereas its two products are adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate and luciferyl sulfate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the sulfotransferases, which transfer sulfur-containing groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate:Renilla luciferin sulfotransferase. Other names in common use include luciferin sulfotransferase, luciferin sulfokinase, luciferin sulfokinase (3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate:luciferin, and sulfotransferase).
