Metabolite Identification
Common NameAndrosterone sulfate
DescriptionAndrosterone sulfate (Andros-S) is the most abundant 5-alpha-reduced androgen metabolite in serum (PMID: 8380602 ). Androsterone sulfate is clinically recognized as one of the major androgen metabolites found in urine. It is a cognate substrate for human dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase, which catalyzes the transfer of the sulfonate group from 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate to dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (PMID: 14573603 ). Androsterone sulfate has been identified in the human placenta (PMID: 32033212 ).

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in sulfotransferase activity
Specific function:
Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation increases the water solubility of most compounds, and therefore their renal excretion, but it can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Sulfates hydroxysteroids like DHEA. Isoform 1 preferentially sulfonates cholesterol, and isoform 2 avidly sulfonates pregnenolone but not cholesterol.
