Gene Information

human ... CES2(8824)

General description

The gene CES2 (carboxylesterase 2) is mapped to human chromosome 16q22.1. It belongs to carboxylesterases family of proteins. CES2 is mainly present in the liver and the intestine. The protein exists as a monomer.

Immunogen

Carboxylesterase 2 Precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Carboxylesterases hydrolyze drugs and toxins, thereby playing crucial role in metabolism and detoxication. Carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) has been shown to hydrolyze the benzoyl group of cocaine and the acetyl groups of 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate, heroin, and 6-monoacetylmorphine. Similarly, dabigatran etexilate (DABE) is an oral prodrug which is hydrolyzed by intestinal CES2 and liver CES1 to the active thrombin inhibitor, dabigatran (DAB).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
