Abstract excerpt
Phenol sulfotransferases (PSTs or phenol SULTs) catalyze the sulfate conjugation of phenolic drugs, xenobiotics, and monoamines. Two human PST isoforms have been defined biochemically, a thermostable (TS), or phenol-preferring, and a thermolabile (TL), or monoamine-preferring form. Pharmacogenetic studies showed that levels of both TS PST activity and TS PST thermal stability (an indirect measure of variation in...
