Abstract
Sustained exposure to excessive estrogen is an established risk factor for breast cancer. Sulfotransferase (SULT)-mediated sulfonation represents an effective approach for estrogen deprivation as estrogen sulfates do not bind and activate estrogen receptors (ERs). The nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily functions as a sensor for xenobiotics as well as endogenous molecules, which can regulate the expression of SULT.
