    Glossary Steroid Sulfatase

    enzyme that converts sulfated steroids into active forms

    Steroid Sulfatase (STS) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of steroid hormones by converting sulfated steroid precursors into their active forms. This process is important for the regulation of various physiological functions, including skin health, hair growth, and reproductive processes. Deficiencies or mutations in the STS gene can lead to conditions such as X-linked ichthyosis, which is characterized by dry, scaly skin.
