Comment typeDescription
Catalytic Activity3-beta-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one 3-sulfate + H(2)O = 3-beta-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one + sulfate.
CofactorName=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence= ; Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion per subunit. ;
FunctionConversion of sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens during pregnancy.
PtmThe conversion to 3-oxoalanine (also known as C- formylglycine, FGly), of a serine or cysteine residue in prokaryotes and of a cysteine residue in eukaryotes, is critical for catalytic activity
SimilarityBelongs to the sulfatase family
Subcellular LocationMicrosome membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Note=The sequence shows several membrane-spanning domains that could serve to anchor the protein in the microsomal membrane.
SubunitHomodimer.
