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.

community Other sulfurtransferase activity upregulator other than Tretinoin?

9 upvotes 3 years ago

The user does not respond well to minoxidil and is seeking an alternative to Tretinoin to upregulate sulfurtransferase activity for hair loss treatment. No specific alternative treatments were mentioned.

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 Any information on if adapalene also increases sulfotransferase the same way tretinoin does?

in Minoxidil 2 upvotes 9 months ago

The conversation discusses whether adapalene (Differin) increases sulfotransferase like tretinoin does, in the context of combining it with minoxidil for hair treatment. The responses indicate that adapalene does not have the same effect as tretinoin.

community Any update on AB-103? (minoxidil sulfotransferase stimulant)

in Minoxidil 3 upvotes 5 months ago

AB-103, a minoxidil sulfotransferase stimulant, is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment. Users inquire about effective boosters for hair growth.

community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
