Inorganic sulfate is one of the most abundant anions in mammalian plasma. Sulfate plays important physiological roles in activating and detoxifying xenobiotics steroids neurotransmitters and bile acids. Sulfate is needed for the biosynthesis of cerebroside sulfate glycosaminoglycans and heparin sulfate. Undersulfation of cartilage proteoglycans has been associated with human inherited osteochondro-dysplasia disorders. In mammals sulfate homeostasis is regulated by the kidney. The majority of filtered sulfate is absorbed in the proximal tubules and only 5-20% of the filtered load is excreted into the urine.
