SYNONYMS
Carboxylesterase 1D, Carboxylesterase 3 (EC:3.1.1.1, EC:3.1.1.67), Fatty acid ethyl ester synthase, FAEE synthase, Triacylglycerol hydrolase, TGH, CES1D.
INTRODUCTION
Carboxylesterase 1D, also known as CES1D is part of a big family of carboxylesterases which are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester in addition to amide bonds. CES1D is the principle lipase of white adipose tissue fat cake extracts. Partially purified white adipose tissue Ces1d had lipase activity in addition to lesser but detectable neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase activity. CES1D demonstrates low catalytic efficiency for hydrolysis of CPT-11, a prodrugs for camptothecin used in cancer therapeutics.
DESCRIPTION
CES1D Mouse Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 555 amino acids (19-565 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 60.9kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 50-70kDa).
CES1D is fused to an 8 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
