Immunohistochemistry for cytochrome b5 (CYB5), DHEA-sulfotransferase (SULT2A1) and 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (HSD3B2) in human adrenal cortex. Both SULT2A1 and CYB5 immunoreactivities are strongly detected in the cytoplasm of adrenocortical cells in the reticularis. Immunoreactivity of SULT2A1 is weak in the fasciculata and not detected in the glomerulosa. CYB5 was similarly week in the fasciculata and glomerulosa. On the other hand, reactivity for HSD3B2 was marked in the glomerulosa and fasciculata, but negative in the reticularis. This figure was modified from Rainey et al [43].
