SULT1A1

SULT1A1 is an enzyme in the human body that helps process and detoxify various substances, including medications and chemicals. It works by attaching a small molecule called sulfate to these substances, making them more water-soluble so they can be easily eliminated through urine or bile. This process, known as sulfation, is important for maintaining a healthy balance of chemicals in the body and can influence how effectively drugs work or how they are broken down. Variations in the SULT1A1 gene can affect how well this enzyme functions in individuals.
