Identification and Expression Profiles of Six Transcripts Encoding Carboxylesterase Protein in Vitis flexuosa Infected with Pathogens

The Plant Pathology Journal, 2016
Plants protect themselves from pathogen attacks via several mechanisms, including hypersensitive cell death. Recognition of pathogen attack by the plant resistance gene triggers expression of carboxylesterase genes associated with hypersensitive response.

Separation and quantitative recovery of mouse serum arylesterase and carboxylesterase activity

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is known to be associated with high density lipoproteins. We optimized buffer conditions to obtain quantitative recovery of PON1 (arylesterase) activity and analyzed the distribution of PON1 in mice using a combination of size ...

Biochemical biomarkers in nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) of different weights exposed to contaminants

Revista de Biologia Neotropical, 2020
Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus) of three groups with different weights (juvenile, adults of lower and higher weight) were exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (0.5 mg.L-1), cupper (0.5 mg.L-1), cadmium (0.5 mg.L-1) and diazinon (1.0 mg.L-1), for 72 h.

Biomarkers in rock oysters (Saccostrea mordax) in response to organophosphate pesticides

Ilmu Kelautan, 2021
Chlorpyrifos is a xenobiotics contaminants that threats the marine environment and the living organism within the habitat. Although several marine bivalve species have been used as the indicator of marine pollution, the used of Saccostrea mordax is ...

In Vitro Inhibition of Carboxylesterase 1 by Major Cannabinoids and Selected Metabolites [PDF]

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 2019
The escalating use of medical cannabis and significant recreational use of cannabis in recent years has led to a higher potential for metabolic interactions between cannabis or one or more of its components and concurrently used medications. Although there have been a significant number of in vitro and in vivo assessments of the effects of cannabis on ...

Esterase EstK from Pseudomonas putida mt-2 : an enantioselective acetylesterase with activity for deacetylation of xylan and poly(vinylacetate) [PDF]

, 2017
An extracellular esterase gene estK was identified in Pseudomonas putida mt-2, and was overexpressed to high levels in Escherichia coli. The recombinant EstK enzyme was purified and characterised kinetically against p-nitrophenyl ester and other aryl ...

Regulation of carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) in human adipose tissue

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2009
Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) has recently been suggested to play a role in lipolysis. Our aim was to study the regulation of CES1 expression in human adipose tissue. In the SOS Sib Pair Study, CES1 expression was higher in obese compared with lean sisters (n=78 pairs, P=8.7x10(-18)) and brothers (n=12 pairs, P=0.048).

Immobilization of active human carboxylesterase 1 in biomimetic silica nanoparticles [PDF]

Biotechnology Progress, 2011
AbstractThe encapsulation of proteins in biomimetic silica has recently been shown to successfully maintain enzymes in their active state. Organophosphate (OP) compounds are used as pesticides as well as potent chemical warfare nerve agents. Because these toxicants are life threatening, we sought to generate biomimetic silicas capable of responding to ...
