DOI: 10.3390/biom15050646
Abstract: Cholesterol sulfate (CS) is a naturally occurring cholesterol derivative that is widely distributed across various tissues and body fluids. In humans, its biosynthesis is primarily mediated by the sulfotransferase (SULT) 2B1b (SULT2B1b). Over the years,… read more here.
