Carboxylesterase 1-mediated endocannabinoid metabolism in skin: role in melanoma progression in BRafV600E/Pten-/- mice. [PDF]
Melanoma is a highly aggressive skin cancer with a poor prognosis. The endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylgylcerol (2-AG) and anandamide have been linked to melanoma progression, though their roles remain unclear.

Impact of carboxylesterase 1 genetic polymorphism on trandolapril activation in human liver and the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in healthy volunteers. [PDF]
Trandolapril, an angiotensināconverting enzyme inhibitor prodrug, needs to be activated by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in the liver to exert its intended therapeutic effect.

Hepatocyte-Specific Expression of Human Carboxylesterase 1 Attenuates Diet-Induced Steatohepatitis and Hyperlipidemia in Mice. [PDF]
Rodents have at least five carboxylesterase 1 (Ces1) genes, whereas there is only one CES1 gene in humans, raising the question as to whether human CES1 and mouse Ces1 genes share the same functions.
