title: Oestrogen sulfotransferase: isolation of a high specific activity species from bovine placenta.
abstract: During the course of a study of the control of expression of steroid-binding proteins in human mammary cancer oestrogen sulfotransferase was isolated from bovine placenta. By a combination of salt precipitation and ion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography two forms of the enzyme were isolated. The forms, which apparently differ only in charge, have specific activities 100-300 times greater than has previously been reported for the enzyme. Partial peptide sequences of these enzymes are presented.
