Product Specifications

Product Specific Information

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity chromatography using an epitope-specific immunogen. The purity is greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Target Information

SULT1 sulfotransferases exhibit N-sulfating activities of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines and are selective toward phenols, whereas SULT2 enzymes prefer hydroxysteroids and SULT3 family members are selective for N-substituted aryl and alicyclic compounds.
SULT2A1 catalyzes the sulfonation of procarcinogen xenobiotics, hydroxysteroids, and bile acids, and is highly expressed in adrenal and liver tissues. It plays a role in hepatic cholesterol homeostasis.
SULT2B1 consists of two isoforms, SULT2B1a and SULT2B1b, transcribed from the same gene by alternative splicing. Both isoforms are highly selective for the sulfation of 3β-hydroxysteroids such as pregnenolone, epiandrosterone, DHEA, and androstenediol. SULT2B1b is expressed in prostate, skin, placenta, and lung.
