Estrogen sulfotransferase SULT1E1 expression correlates with progression and prognosis of lung adenocarcinoma.

Estrogen sulfotransferase (SULT1E1), a member of the sulfotransferase family (SULTs), is the enzyme with the strongest affinity for estrogen. Despite significant associations between SULT1E1 and the progression and prognosis of a range of diseases, its functional role and potential mechanisms in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remain unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the potential of SULT1E1 as a biomarker for LUAD.
