The present invention provides a novel protein having sulfotransferase activity and a nucleic acid encoding the protein, and uses such as a sulfate transfer agent and a method for detecting canceration. A protein comprising a specific amino acid sequence having sulfotransferase activity, a nucleic acid encoding the protein, a sulfate transfer agent comprising the protein as an active ingredient, the expression level of the protein in a test tissue, and the test tissue A method for detecting canceration of a test tissue that correlates with canceration of the subject, an antibody specific for the protein, a cell holding the nucleic acid, and the amino acid sequence or a base sequence encoding the protein, and one or two Including the step of comparing the amino acid sequence information of more than one species of polypeptide and the base sequence information of the nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide, the amino acid sequence of the polypeptide whose expression in living tissue decreases due to sulfate transfer activity or canceration, A method for identifying the base sequence of a nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide.
