SULT4A1

SULT4A1 is a gene that produces an enzyme involved in the process of detoxifying and modifying various compounds in the body, including drugs and hormones. This enzyme belongs to a family called sulfotransferases, which add sulfate groups to molecules, making them more water-soluble and easier to eliminate. SULT4A1 is primarily active in the brain and may influence neurological functions, though its exact role is still being studied. Variations in this gene can affect how individuals process certain chemicals, potentially impacting health and responses to medications.
