Kinetic constants for the hSULT1E1-catalyzed sulfation of 4-OHTAM, N-desTAM, and endoxifen

The sulfation of each metabolite was determined using 0.86 µg purified hSULT1E1. Data were fit to a standard uncompetitive substrate inhibition equation and are the means ± S.E. from three independent experiments. Calculation of kcat values was based on 70,252 as the dimeric molecular mass of hSULT1E1.
