The function of ENSG00000198203 (SULT1C2, sulfotransferase family 1C member 2) is as follows. Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of phenolic compounds (PubMed:10481272, PubMed:10783263, PubMed:9852044). Does not transfer sulfate to steroids, dopamine, acetaminophen, or alpha-naphthol (PubMed:10481272, PubMed:9852044). Except in mitochondria, where it can add sulfate to cholesterol producing cholesterol sulfate, which alters mitochondrial membrane organization, and impacts protein complex mobility increasing state-III respiration, thereby modulating mitochondrial respiration (By similarity). Catalyzes the sulfation of the carcinogenic N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene leading to highly reactive intermediates capable of forming DNA adducts, potentially resulting in mutagenesis (PubMed:9852044). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WUW8, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10481272, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10783263, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9852044}.
