Birth defect

A birth defect, also known as a congenital disorder, is an abnormal condition that is present at birth regardless of its cause.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Birth defect

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Cholesterol sulfate and Cholesterol are Cholestanes.

Endogeny (biology)

Endogenous substances and processes are those that originate from within a living system such as an organism, tissue, or cell.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Endogeny (biology)

Ester

In chemistry, an ester is a functional group derived from an acid (organic or inorganic) in which the hydrogen atom (H) of at least one acidic hydroxyl group of that acid is replaced by an organyl group.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Ester

Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology (or physiopathology) is a branch of study, at the intersection of pathology and physiology, concerning disordered physiological processes that cause, result from, or are otherwise associated with a disease or injury.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Pathophysiology

Skin

Skin is the layer of usually soft, flexible outer tissue covering the body of a vertebrate animal, with three main functions: protection, regulation, and sensation.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Skin

Steroid

A steroid is an organic compound with four fused rings (designated A, B, C, and D) arranged in a specific molecular configuration.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Steroid

Steroid sulfatase

Steroid sulfatase (STS), or steryl-sulfatase (EC 3.1.6.2), formerly known as arylsulfatase C, is a sulfatase enzyme involved in the metabolism of steroids.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Steroid sulfatase

Steroid sulfate

Steroid sulfates are endogenous sulfate esters of steroids. Cholesterol sulfate and steroid sulfate are steroid esters, steroid stubs and sulfate esters.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Steroid sulfate

Steroid sulfotransferase

In enzymology, a steroid sulfotransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3'-phosphoadenylyl sulfate and phenolic steroid, whereas its two products are adenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate and steroid O-sulfate.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Steroid sulfotransferase

Sulfate

The sulfate or sulphate ion is a polyatomic anion with the empirical formula.

See Cholesterol sulfate and Sulfate

SULT2B1

Sulfotransferase family cytosolic 2B member 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SULT2B1 gene.

See Cholesterol sulfate and SULT2B1

X-linked ichthyosis

X-linked ichthyosis (abbreviated XLI) is a skin condition caused by the hereditary deficiency of the steroid sulfatase (STS) enzyme that affects 1 in 2000 to 1 in 6000 males.
