GlossarySULT1A1

enzyme that adds sulfate groups to hormones and drugs

SULT1A1 stands for Sulfotransferase Family 1A Member 1, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of hormones, drugs, and other chemicals in the body by adding a sulfate group to them. This process, known as sulfation, helps in making these substances more water-soluble, facilitating their excretion from the body. Understanding the activity of SULT1A1 can be important in fields like pharmacology and toxicology, as variations in this enzyme can affect how individuals respond to certain medications and environmental chemicals.
