sulfotransferase family 4A, member 1
Symbol
SULT4A1
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
This gene encodes a member of the sulfotransferase family. The encoded protein is a brain-specific sulfotransferase believed to be involved in the metabolism of neurotransmitters. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
