Carboxylesterase 3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CES3 gene. [5] [6] [7] [8]
Carboxylesterase 3 is a member of a large multigene family. The enzymes encoded by these genes are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester- and amide-bond-containing drugs such as cocaine and heroin. They also hydrolyze long-chain fatty acid esters and thioesters. The specific function of this enzyme has not yet been determined; however, it is speculated that carboxylesterases may play a role in lipid metabolism and/or the blood–brain barrier system. [8]
The enzyme carboxylesterase (or carboxylic-ester hydrolase, EC 3.1.1.1; systematic name carboxylic-ester hydrolase) catalyzes reactions of the following form:
Liver carboxylesterase 1 also known as carboxylesterase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CES1 gene. The protein is also historically known as serine esterase 1 (SES1), monocyte esterase and cholesterol ester hydrolase (CEH). Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. The various protein products from isoform a, b and c range in size from 568, 567 and 566 amino acids long, respectively.
Alcohol dehydrogenase class-3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADH5 gene.
Carboxylesterase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CES2 gene. It is a member of the alpha/beta fold hydrolase family.
Sulfatase-modifying factor 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SUMF2 gene.
Attractin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ATRN gene.
Sulfatase-modifying factor 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SUMF1 gene.
Ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase 24 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the USP24 gene.
Sodium channel subunit beta-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCN2B gene.
Carbonic anhydrase 14 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CA14 gene.
GPI transamidase component PIG-S is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PIGS gene. This gene encodes a protein that is involved in GPI-anchor biosynthesis.
Endothelin-converting enzyme-like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ECEL1 gene.
Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MAST1 gene.
Chitobiosyldiphosphodolichol beta-mannosyltransferase is an enzyme that is encoded by ALG1 whose structure and function has been conserved from lower to higher organisms.
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 12 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADAMTS12 gene.
CYP4X1 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CYP4X1 gene.
Arylsulfatase E, also known as ARSE, is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the ARSE gene.
Ribonuclease H1 also known as RNase H1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNASEH1 gene. The RNase H1 is a non-specific endonuclease and catalyzes the cleavage of RNA via a hydrolytic mechanism.

Ritalinic acid is a substituted phenethylamine and an inactive major metabolite of the psychostimulant drugs methylphenidate and ethylphenidate. When administered orally, methylphenidate is extensively metabolized in the liver by hydrolysis of the ester group yielding ritalinic acid. The hydrolysis was found to be catalyzed by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1).
