Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate or DHEA sulfate is a metabolite of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) produced by the addition of a sulfate group, catalyzed by the sulfotransferase enzymes SULT1A1 and SULT1E1, which also produce estrone sulfate from estrone. DHEA sulfate can also be back-converted to DHEA through the action of steroid sulfatase.

DHEA sulfate levels decline as a person ages.
