additional information | Sus scrofa | the enzyme is responsible for the sulfoconjugation of the 16-androstene steroids. Hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase may play a significant role in determining the levels of sulfated 16-androstene steroids present in plasma. Sulfoconjugation may serve to regulate the quantity of unconjugated 5alpha-androstenone present in the circulation and thus available for accumulation. Animals with a decreased ability to sulfoconjugate 5alpha-androstenone would have a subsequent increase in the levels of unconjugated 5alpha-androstenone in circulation, allowing for the accumulation of high levels in fat and thereby potentially leading to the development of boar taint | ? | - |
