Structure of Human Placental Estrone/DHEA SulfataseStructure of Human Placental Estrone/DHEA Sulfatase
Structural highlights
1p49 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
STS_HUMAN Defects in STS are the cause of ichthyosis X-linked (IXL) [MIM:308100. Ichthyosis X-linked is a keratinization disorder manifesting with mild erythroderma and generalized exfoliation of the skin within a few weeks after birth. Affected boys later develop large, polygonal, dark brown scales, especially on the neck, extremities, trunk, and buttocks.[1][2][3][4]
Function
STS_HUMAN Conversion of sulfated steroid precursors to estrogens during pregnancy.
