Estrone sulfate (E1S), or estrone 3-sulfate, is a natural, endogenous steroid and an estrogen ester and conjugate.[1][2][3]
In addition to its role as a natural hormone, estrone sulfate is used as a medication, for instance in menopausal hormone therapy; for information on estrone sulfate as a medication, see the estrone sulfate (medication) article.
Biological function
E1S itself is biologically inactive, with less than 1% of the relative binding affinity of estradiol for the ERα and ERβ,[4] but it can be converted by steroid sulfatase (also known as estrogen sulfatase) into estrone, an estrogen.[5] Simultaneously, estrogen sulfotransferases, including SULT1A1 and SULT1E1, convert estrone to E1S, resulting in an equilibrium between the two steroids in various tissues.[1][5] Estrone can also be transformed by 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases into the more potent estrogen estradiol.[1] E1S levels are much higher than those of estrone and estradiol, and it is thought to serve as a long-lasting reservoir for estrone and estradiol in the body.[1][6][7]
E1S has been found to transactivate the estrogen receptor at physiologically relevant concentrations.[8][9] This was diminished with co-application of irosustat (STX-64), a steroid sulfatase inhibitor, indicating that transformation of estrone sulfate into estrone is involved.[8][9]
Unlike unconjugated estradiol and estrone, which are lipophilic compounds, E1S is more hydrophilic, and in relation to this, it is unable to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of cell membranes.[10][11] Instead, estrone sulfate is transported into cells by active transport via organic-anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs), including OATP1A2, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OATP1C1, OATP2B1, and OATP3A1.[10][11]
E1S may be involved in the pathophysiology of breast cancer, benign breast disease, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer.[1]
Chemistry
E1S, also known as estrone 3-sulfate or as estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one 3-sulfate, is a naturally occurring estrane steroid and a derivative of estrone.[12] It is an estrogen conjugate or ester, and is specifically the C3 sulfate ester of estrone.[12] Related estrogen conjugates include estradiol sulfate, estriol sulfate, estrone glucuronide, estradiol glucuronide, and estriol glucuronide, while related steroid conjugates include dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and pregnenolone sulfate.

Levels
Circulating levels of estrone sulfate range from a low of 0.13 ng/mL in postmenopausal women to a high of 105 ng/mL in pregnant women during the third trimester.[8]
