    GlossaryMinoxidil Sulfotransferase

    enzyme activating minoxidil for effective hair growth stimulation

    Minoxidil Sulfotransferase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the activation of minoxidil, a common treatment for hair loss. This enzyme converts minoxidil into its active form, minoxidil sulfate, which is more effective in stimulating hair growth. The presence and activity level of this enzyme in hair follicles can influence how well a person responds to minoxidil treatment.
