Alcohol sulfotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of primary and secondary alcohols including many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds.[1][2]

The chemical reaction is:

an alcohol + 3'-phosphoadenylyl-sulfate \rightleftharpoons adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + an organosulfate + H+
