Rabbit Anti-CES1P1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene is a member of the carboxylesterase (CES) gene 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 gene does not encode a protein and the sequence is similar to the CES1 gene, so represents a pseudogene of the CES1 gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
Function:
CES1P1 belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family. In contrast to other members of the family, it is shorter and lacks the SLCterminal part that contains the conserved Glu and His active sites, hence it probably has no esterase activity. Could be the product of a pseudogene. It is expressed in the placenta.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in placenta.
Similarity:
Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
