Carboxylesterase 2/CES2 Proteins and Enzymes

Carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) is a member of a large family of carboxylesterases that are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester and amide bonds. They have broad substrate specificity ranging from small molecule esters such as phenylester to long-chain fatty acid esters and thioesters. Carboxylesterases play a major role as determinants of pharmacokin...
