Structure-guided protein engineering increases enzymatic activities of the SGNH family esterases
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2020 Background Esterases and lipases hydrolyze short-chain esters and long-chain triglycerides, respectively, and therefore play essential roles in the synthesis and decomposition of ester bonds in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Quantitative assay of non-specific esterases in the developing egg of Emerita asiatica [PDF]
, 1982 It is a well known fact that crustacean yolk contains a considerable quantity of storage lipids to be utilized during embryogenesis. Esterases are the main hydrolytic enzymes responsible for converting complex storage lipids into easily utilizable ...

Neuropathy target esterase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1999 Neuropathy target esterase (NTE) is an integral membrane protein present in all neurons and in some non-neural-cell types of vertebrates. Recent data indicate that NTE is involved in a cell-signalling pathway controlling interactions between neurons and accessory glial cells in the developing nervous system.

Faecal leukocyte esterase activity is an alternative biomarker in inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Leukocyte cytosolic proteins (e.g., calprotectin) are emerging biomarkers for inflammatory bowel disease. Leukocyte aryl esterase activity has been commonly used for sensitive detection of leukocytes in human body fluids such as urine.

Esterases in marine dinoflagellates and resistance to the organophosphate insecticide parathion [PDF]
, 2010 Esterases are involved in the susceptibility or resistance of organisms to organophosphate pesticides. We have examined the action of parathion on the marine dinoflagellates Crypthecodinium cohnii and Prorocentrum micans by looking at their esterases ...

Confocal microscopy and image analysis indicates a region-specific relation between active caspases and cytoplasm in ejaculated and epididymal sperm. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Previously, it was suggested a relation between the presence of apoptosis markers with cytoplasm in mammalian sperm. In this work, flow cytometry, confocal microscopy and image analysis were used to analyze the relationship between active caspase-3 and ...
