Product Specs

Introduction
Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of various compounds, including drugs and environmental toxins. It belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase family and exhibits activity towards a wide range of substrates containing ester or amide bonds. CES1 is involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics by converting them into excretable forms. Additionally, CES1 participates in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs, transforming them into their pharmacologically active metabolites. This enzyme demonstrates substrate specificity, hydrolyzing aromatic and aliphatic esters, but it lacks catalytic activity towards amides or fatty acyl-CoA esters. Notably, CES1 hydrolyzes the methyl ester group of cocaine, resulting in the formation of benzoylecgonine. It also catalyzes the transesterification of cocaine to produce cocaethylene. CES1 is widely distributed in various tissues, with its highest expression observed in the liver. It plays a significant role in detoxification processes within the lung and contributes to protecting the central nervous system from potentially harmful ester or amide compounds.
Description
Recombinant CES1, human, expressed in Sf9 insect cells, is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 61.7 kDa. The protein encompasses amino acids 19-568, incorporating a 9-amino acid His tag at the C-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques. On SDS-PAGE, the apparent molecular size may appear between 50-70 kDa due to glycosylation.
Physical Appearance
Sterile, colorless solution.
Formulation
The CES1 protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5 mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 25 mM Sodium Acetate (pH 4.0), 10% glycerol, 0.1 M NaCl, and 0.1 mM PMSF.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), the protein solution can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the protein at -20°C. To ensure stability during long-term storage, adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is advised. Repeated freezing and thawing of the protein solution should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of CES1 is determined to be greater than 90% as assessed by SDS-PAGE analysis.
Synonyms

Liver carboxylesterase 1 isoform a, CES1, ACAT, CE-1, CEH, CES2, hCE-1, HMSE, HMSE1, PCE-1, REH, SES1, TGH, Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, Brain carboxylesterase hBr1.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

Carboxylesterase 1 is a serine esterase and part of the alpha/beta fold hydrolase family . It is encoded by the CES1 gene located on chromosome 16q22.2 in humans . The enzyme is primarily found in the liver, where it constitutes approximately 1% of the entire liver proteome . CES1 is responsible for 80%–95% of total hydrolytic activity in the liver .

Role in Drug Metabolism

CES1 plays a crucial role in the metabolism of a wide range of drugs, including ester-prodrugs, pesticides, environmental pollutants, and endogenous compounds . It is particularly important in the hydrolysis of ester- and amide-bond-containing drugs such as cocaine and heroin . The enzyme’s activity can lead to the biotransformation of pharmacologically active drugs into their inactive metabolites, as exemplified by the hydrolysis of methylphenidate in the liver .

Genetic and Nongenetic Variability

The expression and activity of CES1 vary significantly among individuals, contributing to interindividual variability in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs metabolized by CES1 . Both genetic and nongenetic factors influence CES1 functionality. Genetic polymorphisms, including single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variants, as well as nongenetic factors such as developmental status, gender, and drug-drug interactions, can affect CES1 expression and activity .

Recombinant Human Carboxylesterase 1

Recombinant human Carboxylesterase 1 is produced using a mouse myeloma cell line, NS0-derived human CES1 protein . The recombinant protein is typically supplied as a filtered solution in sodium acetate and sodium chloride . It is used in various research applications, including the study of drug metabolism and the development of precision pharmacotherapy strategies .

Clinical Relevance

The clinical relevance of CES1 has been demonstrated in various clinical trials. Predicting hepatic CES1 function can provide clinical guidance to optimize the pharmacotherapy of numerous medications metabolized by CES1 . Understanding the regulation of CES1 expression and activity, as well as identifying biomarkers for CES1 function in vivo, could lead to the development of precision pharmacotherapy strategies to improve the efficacy and safety of many CES1 substrate drugs .
