Abstract

The steroid sulfatase or steryl sulfatase is a microsomal enzyme widely distributed in human tissues that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sulfated 3-hydroxy steroids to the corresponding free active 3-hydroxy steroids. Since androgens and estrogens may be synthesized inside the cancerous cells starting from dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) and estrone sulfate (E1S) available in blood circulation, the use of therapeutic agents that inhibit steroid ...
