Abstract excerpt
The phenol sulfotransferases (PSTs) catalyze the sulfation of both small planar phenols and phenolic monoamines. Three highly homologous PST genes, SULT1A1, SULT1A2, and SULT1A3, are known to exist in humans. The prototypic biochemical phenotype associated with the enzyme encoded by SULT1A1 is the thermal stable (TS) sulfation of 4 microM 4-nitrophenol (TS PST activity). Biochemical pharmacogenetic studies have...
