Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze sulfonation of hydroxysteroids and xenobiotics. 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate + an alcohol = adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate + an alkyl sulfate + H(+) Induced by estrogens and suppressed by androgens. Expression is under the influence of pituitary growth hormone and thyroid hormone. Belongs to the sulfotransferase 1 family.
