Did you mean Sulfotransferase?

Glossary Sulfotransferase

enzyme that attaches sulfate groups to other molecules

Sulfotransferase is an enzyme that adds sulfate groups to molecules, a process known as sulfation. This modification can change the function or activity of the target molecules, which often include hormones, drugs, and proteins. In the context of hair biology, sulfotransferases can influence hair growth and health by modifying signaling molecules involved in these processes.

Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 Activity in Hair Follicle: A Prognostic Marker of Response to Minoxidil Treatment in Androgenetic Alopecia

research Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity in hair follicle, a prognostic marker of response to the minoxidil treatment in patients with androgenetic alopecia: a review

November 2020 in “Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii”

This review discusses the potential of using SULT1A1 expression in the scalp as a biomarker to predict response to minoxidil treatment for androgenetic alopecia, but reports no new clinical results.

Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) Genetic Variants Predict Response to Oral Minoxidil Treatment for Female Pattern Hair Loss

research Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) genetic variants predicts response to oral minoxidil treatment for female pattern hair loss

7 citations , June 2020 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

This article discusses the role of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Enzyme (SULT1A1) genetic variants in predicting the response to oral minoxidil for treating female pattern hair loss, without presenting new research findings.

research SULT1A1 (Minoxidil Sulfotransferase) enzyme booster significantly improves response to topical minoxidil for hair regrowth

1 citations , June 2021 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology”

In this study, the addition of a SULT1A1 enzyme booster to daily 5% minoxidil treatment significantly increased hair regrowth in men with androgenic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone.

Comparison of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase Activity Between Scalp Hair, Eyebrows, and Eyelashes: Implication for Minoxidil Efficacy for Off-Label Use

research Comparison of minoxidil sulfotransferase activity between scalp hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes: Implication for minoxidil efficacy for off‐label use

April 2024 in “Journal of cosmetic dermatology”

This study found that SULT1A1 enzyme activity, crucial for activating minoxidil, is significantly lower in eyebrow and eyelash follicles compared to scalp follicles, suggesting that additional sulfotransferase supplementation might enhance minoxidil-based hair growth treatments for these areas.

community What Determines Sulfotransferase Enzyme Levels In The Body?

in Minoxidil 7 upvotes 1 year ago

Some people have low sulfotransferase enzyme levels, affecting their response to minoxidil. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and diet, like MSM intake, might influence these enzyme levels.

community Could the salicylic acid in my Nioxin shampoo reduce minoxidil effectiveness?

in Minoxidil 3 upvotes 6 months ago

Salicylic acid in Nioxin shampoo may reduce minoxidil effectiveness by inhibiting sulfotransferase activity, potentially causing hair loss. Users suggest stopping salicylic acid use or trying alternative treatments like high-concentration tretinoin or medicated minoxidil/finasteride shampoos.

community Oral Minoxidil - The Hyper-Responder Concept

4 upvotes 11 months ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to genetic differences in the SULT1A1 enzyme, affecting how well it converts to its active form, minoxidil sulfate. Hyper-responders may experience rapid hair growth and increased side effects, such as pericardial effusion, even at low doses.

community You may not have the enzyme for topical minoxidil to work - a rarely talked about impact

100 upvotes 1 year ago

Some people may not respond to topical minoxidil due to low SULT1A1 enzyme activity, but oral minoxidil can be effective. Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness, and some users prefer oral minoxidil despite side effects.

community Who won’t respond to minoxidil? (Studies)

33 upvotes 6 months ago

Minoxidil's effectiveness varies due to differences in sulfotransferase enzyme levels in the scalp, affecting people with conditions like ASD, liver disease, and androgenic alopecia. Treatments like topical tretinoin, microneedling, and using minoxidil sulfate instead of regular minoxidil can improve results for those with low enzyme levels.
