CAS 9016-18-6
:Carboxyl esterase
Description:
Carboxyl esterase, with the CAS number 9016-18-6, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of carboxylic esters into their corresponding alcohols and acids. This enzyme is part of the broader family of esterases and plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including lipid metabolism and the detoxification of xenobiotics. Carboxyl esterases are found in many organisms, including humans, where they are primarily located in the liver and other tissues. They exhibit broad substrate specificity, allowing them to act on a wide range of ester compounds. The enzyme's activity is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of specific inhibitors or activators. In biotechnological applications, carboxyl esterases are utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and in bioremediation processes. Their ability to break down complex esters makes them valuable in both industrial and environmental contexts. Overall, carboxyl esterase is an important enzyme with diverse applications in biochemistry and biotechnology.
