Abstract excerpt
Human sulfotransferases catalyze sulfate conjugation and 2 polymorphic genes, SULT1A1 and SULT1A2 in this family of transferases have been identified, encoding for 2 isoenzymes with very similar properties and substrate specificities. In order to test the hypothesis that variability in sulfation is due to genetic polymorphism in SULT1A1, the sulfation rate of 4-nitrophenol, a diagnostic substrate, was measured in...
