Other name
Liver carboxylesterase 1 (Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase) (ACAT) (Brain carboxylesterase hBr1) (Carboxylesterase 1) (CE-1) (hCE-1) (EC 3.1.1.1) (Cocaine carboxylesterase) (Egasyn) (HMSE) (Methylumbelliferyl-acetate deacetylase 1) (EC 3.1.1.56) (Monocyte/macrophage serine esterase) (Retinyl ester hydrolase) (REH) (Serine esterase 1) (Triacylglycerol hydrolase) (TGH)
Background
This gene encodes a member of the carboxylesterase large family. The family members are responsible for the hydrolysis or transesterification of various xenobiotics, such as cocaine and heroin, and endogenous substrates with ester, thioester, or amide bonds. They may participate in fatty acyl and cholesterol ester metabolism, and may play a role in the blood-brain barrier system. This enzyme is the major liver enzyme and functions in liver drug clearance. Mutations of this gene cause carboxylesterase 1 deficiency. Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010],
Function
catalytic activity:A carboxylic ester + H(2)O = an alcohol + a carboxylate.,enzyme regulation:Activated by CHAPS.,function:Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs. Hydrolyzes aromatic and aliphatic esters, but has no catalytic activity toward amides or a fatty acyl CoA ester.,PTM:Contains sialic acid.,similarity:Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.,subunit:Homotrimer and homohexamer. Binds to beta-glucuronidase.,tissue specificity:Expressed predominantly in liver with lower levels in heart and lung.,
