Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3′-phospho-5′-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of phenolic compounds. Does not sulfonate steroids, dopamine, acetaminophen, or alpha-naphthol (PubMed:10481272, PubMed:10783263, PubMed:9852044). Catalyzes the sulfonation of the carcinogenic N-Hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene leading to highly reactive intermediates capable of forming DNA adducts, potentially resulting in mutagenesis (PubMed:9852044).
