Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases

Sulfotransferases catalyze the sulfate conjugation of a wide variety of endogenous and exogenous substrates, including steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, catecholamines, xenobiotics, and many drugs. Recent advances in molecular biology and biochemistry have yielded significant advances in our understanding of these enzymes, but until now this knowledge has been scattered throughout the scientific literature. Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases is the only current, multidisciplinary overview of this rapidly developing field. This authoritative volume provides a multidisciplinary overview of human sulfotransferases, covering their nomenclature, biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, clinical aspects, pharmacology, enzymology, and environmental toxicology.
