Encodes a brassinosteroid sulfotransferase that may be involved in brassinosteroid inactivation. In vitro experiements show that this enzyme can act on a broad group of naturally occurring brassinosteroids, including the 24-epimers and (22R,23R)-28 homobrassinosteroids, that have an array of different side chains, though it shows a preference for (22R,23R)-28 homobrassinosteroids. ST4A is expressed in the roots and transcript levels fall in response to cytokinin treatment.
