Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Estrogen sulfotransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SULT1E1 gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

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.[6]
