1. Phenol sulphotransferases (PSTs) are important enzymes in xenobiotic and endobiotic detoxication, and a key component of the body's chemical defence mechanism. 2. Human phenol-(P-PST) and monoamine-(M-PST) sulphating forms of PST share 93% amino acid sequence identity, and to date the various antibodies produced against PSTs all recognize both enzymes. 3. We have identified two peptides based on the cDNA-derived amino acid sequences of human P-PST and M-PST, which elicited for the first time antibodies capable of discriminating between these highly homologous enzymes. 4. These antibodies represent valuable tools for studying the expression, distribution and function of human phenol sulphotransferases.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D015151 Immunoblotting Immunologic method used for detecting or quantifying immunoreactive substances.

D015239 Arylsulfotransferase A sulfotransferase that catalyzes the sulfation of a phenol in the presence of 3'-phosphoadenylylsulfate as sulfate donor to yield an aryl sulfate and adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate. A number of aromatic compounds can act as acceptors; however, organic hydroxylamines are not substrates. Sulfate conjugation by this enzyme is a major pathway for the biotransformation of phenolic and catechol drugs as well as neurotransmitters. EC 2.8.2.1.
