SULT1E1

SULT1E1 is an enzyme in the body that helps regulate hormones, particularly estrogen. It functions by attaching sulfate groups to estrogen molecules, which makes them more water-soluble and easier to eliminate from the body. This process helps maintain balanced hormone levels, preventing excess estrogen from causing health issues. SULT1E1 is primarily found in the liver, but also exists in other tissues, playing a crucial role in hormone detoxification and metabolism. Proper functioning of SULT1E1 is important for hormonal health and overall well-being.
