Sulfuryl group transfer from coelenterazine sulfate to PAP by other sulfotransferases. [PDF]
We surveyed four sulfotransferases (STs) for their ability to transfer the sulfate from coelenterazine sulfate to PAP producing coelenterazine. The mouse estrogen ST was chosen based on sequence similarity (Fig 9) to the Coel-ST and the others based on ...

Chondroitin / dermatan sulfate modification enzymes in zebrafish development.
Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans consist of unbranched sulfated polysaccharide chains of repeating GalNAc-GlcA/IdoA disaccharide units, attached to serine residues on specific proteins.

Bioinformatic Analysis of Sulfotransferases from an Unexplored Gut Microbe, Sutterella wadsworthensis 3_1_45B: Possible Roles towards Detoxification via Sulfonation by Members of the Human Gut Microbiome. [PDF]
Sulfonation, primarily facilitated by sulfotransferases, plays a crucial role in the detoxification pathways of endogenous substances and xenobiotics, promoting metabolism and elimination. Traditionally, this bioconversion has been attributed to a family

PPARalpha-mediated effects of dietary lipids on intestinal barrier gene expression [PDF]
Background The selective absorption of nutrients and other food constituents in the small intestine is mediated by a group of transport proteins and metabolic enzymes, often collectively called 'intestinal barrier proteins'.

HS sulfotransferases are increased in AD hippocampus. [PDF]
a) The expression of the main HS sulfotransferases responsible of N-, 2-O-, 3-O- and 6-O-sulfation were examined by RTqPCR. Other genes were analyzed including C5-epimerase (GLCE), heparanase (HPSE) and carbohydrate sulfotransferase 8 (CHST8).
