Biological context of SULT1A2

  • Here we report on the sequencing and genomic organization of the STP1 and STP2 genes from a single cosmid clone obtained from chromosome 16p12.1-p11 [7].
  • Genomic organization and DNA sequences of two human phenol sulfotransferase genes (STP1 and STP2) on the short arm of chromosome 16 [7].
  • The two most closely related genes, STP1 and STP2, encoding P-PST isozymes have been mapped to a single cosmid clone and are, therefore, in close proximity to one another [8].
  • The genes for SULT1A1 and SULT1A2 contain common genetic polymorphisms that are associated with individual variations in levels of enzyme activity as well as variations in biochemical and physical properties [9].
  • Ethnic variation in allele frequencies was also observed for SULT1A2, with frequencies in Caucasian subjects for SULT1A2*1, *2 and *3 of 0.507, 0.389 and 0.104; frequencies in Chinese of 0.924 and 0.076 with no *3 alleles observed; and, finally, in African-Americans frequencies of 0.637, 0.249 and 0.114, respectively [9].

Other interactions of SULT1A2

  • The characterization of the STP2 gene provides further insight into the organization, regulation, and multiplicity of the sulfotransferase supergene family [15].
  • Finally, use of the long polymerase chain reaction made it possible to determine that STP1 is located approximately 45 kb 5'-upstream from STP2 on the short arm of human chromosome 16 [16].
  • While the increased expression of SULT1C1 in malignant tissue seems to reflect tumor dedifferentiation, our finding of unspliced SULT1A2 mRNA in non-malignant tissue offers additional aspects regarding the search for breast cancer risk factors [17].
