Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfonation of 3-beta-hydroxyl groups of neutral steroids. High preference for C21 steroid (pregnenolone). 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + an alcohol = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + an alkyl sulfate + H(+) Homodimer. Liver, intestine and kidney. Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family.
