Abstract excerpt
Estrogen sulfotransferase (EST, encoded by SULT1E1) catalyzes the sulfoconjugation and inactivation of estrogens. Despite decades of biochemical study and the recognition that high levels of estrogen sulfates circulate in the blood of pregnant and nonpregnant women, the physiological role of estrogen sulfation remains poorly understood. Here we show that ablation of the mouse Sult1e1 gene caused placental...
