Cytosolic sulfotransferase SULT1C subfamily is one of the most flexible gene subfamilies during mammalian evolution. The physiological functions of SULT1C enzymes still remain to be fully understood. In this study, common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), a promising primate animal model, was used to investigate the functional relevance of the SULT1C subfamily. Gene database search revealed 3 intactSULT1Cgenes and a pseudogene in its genome. These 4 genes were namedSULT1C1, SULT1C2, SULT1C3P, andSULT1C5, according to the sequence homology and gene location. SinceSULT1C5is the orthologous gene for humanSULT1C2P, we propose, here, to revisit the designation of humanSULT1C2Pto SULT1C5P. Purified recombinant SULT1C enzymes showed sulfating activities toward a variety of xenobiotic compounds and thyroid hormones. Kinetic analysis revealed high catalytic activities of SULT1C1 and SULT1C5 for 3,3′-T2. It appears therefore that SULT1C isoforms may play a role in the thyroid hormone metabolism in common marmoset.
