RABBIT ANTI CES1

Rabbit anti Human CES1 antibody recognizes CES1, also known as acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, brain carboxylesterase hBr1, carboxylesterase 1 (monocyte/macrophage serine esterase 1), carboxylesterase 2 (liver), cholesteryl ester hydrolase, cocaine carboxylesterase, egasyn, human monocyte/macrophage serine esterase 1, methylumbelliferyl-acetate deacetylase 1 or retinyl ester hydrolase.

CES1 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 CES1 cause carboxylesterase 1 deficiency. Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for CES1 (provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010).

Rabbit anti Human CES1 antibody detects a band of 63 kDa. The antibody has been extensively validated for western blotting using whole cell lysates.
