Application
Carboxylesterase 1 isoform c human has been used as a reference standard in carboxylesterase activity from the mussel for comparison of substrate specificity and inhibition studies. It has also been used as a commercial recombinant protein for the methodological validation of environmental chemical-based inhibition studies.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Carboxylesterase enzymes are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester- and amide-bond-containing drugs such as cocaine and heroin. They also hydrolyze long-chain fatty acid esters and thioesters. Carboxylesterase 1 (CE1) catalyzes the formation of cholesteryl esters from cholesterol and fatty acids. Through a transesterification reaction, CE1 also mediates the generation of fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs). It also hydrolyzes aromatic and aliphatic esters with preference to small alcohol groups and bulky acyl groups. CE1 metabolizes drug esters and amides carbamates. It participates in the detoxification of environmental toxicants and carcinogens and is useful in pharmacokinetic studies for evaluating pro-drugs.
General description
Carboxylesterase 1 (CE1) is a member of a large multigene carboxylesterase α,β-hydrolase family. It is majorly expressed in the liver. CE1 comprises an αβ domain, a central catalytic domain and a regulatory domain.
This product is offered in a volume of 0.5 mL.
Other Notes
One unit will hydrolyze one nanomole of 4-nitrophenyl acetate per minute at pH 7.4 at 37 °C.

Mammalian carboxylesterases hydrolyze a wide range of xenobiotic and endogenous compounds, including lipid esters. Physiological functions of carboxylesterases in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis in vivo have been demonstrated by genetic manipulations and chemical inhibition in mice, and in vitro

Mammalian carboxylesterases (CESs) comprise a multigene family whose gene products play important roles in biotransformation of ester- or amide-type prodrugs. They are members of an alpha,beta-hydrolase-fold family and are found in various mammals. It has been suggested that CESs can

Carboxylesterases are a multigene family of mammalian enzymes widely distributed throughout the body that catalyze the hydrolysis of esters, amides, thioesters, and carbamates. In humans, two carboxylesterases, hCE1 and hCE2, are important mediators of drug metabolism. Both are expressed in
