Specific for Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHEAS) and Reacts with DHEA. Negligible cross reactivity has been observed with Progesterone and Testosterone. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in the human body and a precursor of all the sex hormones. It is synthesized principally in the adrenal glands and gonads from cholesterol, through conversion to pregnenolone and 17-Hydroxypregnenolone, by the action of P450 enzymes. DHEA is mainly found in serum as the sulphated form, a reversible reaction catalyzed by sulfotransferase in the adrenal glands, liver and small intestine
