背景信息:
Sulfotransferase Family Cytosolic 2B Member 1(SULT2B1) is a member of the Sulfotransferase 1 family. SULT2B1 is highly expressed in the placenta, prostate, and trachea with lower expression levels in the small intestine and lung. SULT2B1 catalyzes the sulfate conjugation of numerous hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs, and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation enhances the water solubility of molecules, and therefore their renal excretion, however SULT2B1 can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites.
