title: [Demonstration of a cytosolic inhibitory of membrane estrone sulfatase activity in guinea pig liver].
abstract: Estrone sulfatase is a membrane-bound enzyme hydrolysing estrone sulfate. In normal and pathological tissues, estrone sulfatase is required for the conversion of estrone sulfate into physiologically active estrogens. In the hepatic cytosol of Guinea-pig, we have demonstrated the existence of a soluble inhibitor of uterine and hepatic microsomal estrone sulfatase. This inhibitor has approximatively a molecular weight of 7,600 and acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of estrone sulfatase. It seems to be a soluble intra-cellular effector of membrane-bound estrone sulfatase.
