Anti-Liver Carboxylesterase 1/CES1 antibody [EP1376Y],Abcam,AB53008

Target data Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs (PubMed : 18762277, PubMed : 7980644, PubMed : 9169443, PubMed : 9490062). Hydrolyzes aromatic and aliphatic esters, but has no catalytic activity toward amides or a fatty acyl-CoA ester (PubMed : 18762277, PubMed : 7980644, PubMed : 9169443, PubMed : 9490062). Hydrolyzes the methyl ester group of cocaine to form benzoylecgonine (PubMed : 7980644). Catalyzes the transesterification of cocaine to form cocaethylene (PubMed : 7980644). Displays fatty acid ethyl ester synthase activity, catalyzing the ethyl esterification of oleic acid to ethyloleate (PubMed : 7980644). Converts monoacylglycerides to free fatty acids and glycerol. Hydrolyzes of 2-arachidonoylglycerol and prostaglandins (PubMed : 21049984). Hydrolyzes cellular cholesteryl esters to free cholesterols and promotes reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) by facilitating both the initial and final steps in the process (PubMed : 11015575, PubMed : 16024911, PubMed : 16971496, PubMed : 18762277). First of all, allows free cholesterol efflux from macrophages to extracellular cholesterol acceptors and secondly, releases free cholesterol from lipoprotein-delivered cholesteryl esters in the liver for bile acid synthesis or direct secretion into the bile (PubMed : 16971496, PubMed : 18599737, PubMed : 18762277).
