General description

DHEA sulfate is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) produced by the addition of a sulfate group, catalyzed by the sulfotransferase enzymes SULT1A1 and SULT1E1, which also produce estrone sulfate from estrone. DHEA sulfate can also be back-converted to DHEA through the action of steroid sulfatase.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate (DHEAS) is an adrenal steroid and is present in abundance in humans. It is the sulfate ester of DHAE and is synthesized by the adrenal glands and the gonads. DHEAS is produced in the zona reticularis.

Application

DHEA sulfate has been used:
  • as a sulfated steroid in chemotaxis assay of bone-marrow (BM) neutrophil and also to test its inhibitory effect on the Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (Rac GEF)
  • as an internal standard in mass spectrometry
  • as a synthetic lipid standard for spiking low-density lipoprotein (LDL) samples for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (LC-MS)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) sulfate (DHEAS) regulates the synthesis of catecholamines. It modulates neurotransmitter receptors including the γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) and the N-methyl-D -aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Low levels of DHAES in brain is observed in Alzheimer′s disease (AD) patients.
