Rabbit anti-Human SULT1E1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P49888

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SULT1E1

Target Full Name

Sulfotransferase 1E1

Target Function

Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of estradiol and estrone. Is a key enzyme in estrogen homeostasis, the sulfation of estrogens leads to their inactivation. Also sulfates dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), pregnenolone, (24S)-hydroxycholesterol and xenobiotic compounds like ethinylestradiol, equalenin, diethyl stilbesterol and 1-naphthol at significantly lower efficiency. Does not sulfonate cortisol, testosterone and dopamine.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytosol.

Target Protein Families

Sulfotransferase 1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Liver, intestine and at lower level in the kidney.

Target Synonyms

EST; EST-1; EST1; Estrogen sulfotransferase; estrogen-preferring; estrone sulfotransferase; ST1E1; ST1E1_HUMAN; STE; Sulfotransferase 1E1; Sulfotransferase; Sulfotransferase estrogen preferring; Sulfotransferase family 1E member 1; SULT1E1

Target Background

Sulfotransferase enzymes catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. These cytosolic enzymes are different in their tissue distributions and substrate specificities. The gene structure (number and length of exons) is similar among family members. This gene encodes a protein that transfers a sulfo moiety to and from estrone, which may control levels of estrogen receptors.
