Abstract: | Steroid sulphotransferase activities for 5α-androst-16-en-3β-ol and pregnenolone in porcine liver cytosol have been assayed using 3′-phosphoadenosine-5′-phospho35S]sulphate as sulphate donor. 5α-Androst-16-en-3β-ol sulphotransferase activity was obtained from porcine liver cytosol by gel filtration chromatography; activity was linear with time up to about 5 min., the optimum pH was near 8.0 and optimum temperature 37°C. Pregnenolone sulphotransferase activity was partially purified from porcine liver cytosol using DEAE-cellulose chromatography with an ionic gradient of KCl. This enzyme activity was linear with time up to 10 min and had optimum pH and temperature of 8.0 and 37°C, respectively. |
