Molecular cloning and regulation of porcine <i>SULT2A1</i> : relationship between SULT2A1 expression and sulfoconjugation of androstenone
1 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase (SULT2A1) is a key enzyme in the testicular and hepatic metabolism of 5alpha-androstenone, which is a major component of the off-odor and off-flavor in pork known as boar taint. The goals of this study were to determine the role of testicular and hepatic SULT2A1 activity on plasma 5alpha-androstenone sulfate levels, the accumulation of 5alpha-androstenone in adipose tissue, and to...
