PC-esterase domain containing 1C, pseudogene

esterase D/formylglutathione hydrolase pseudogene

ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (ubiquitin thiolesterase) pseudogene

PC-esterase domain containing 1A

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the GDSL/SGNH superfamily. Members of this family are hydrolytic enzymes with esterase and lipase activity and broad substrate specificity. This protein belongs to the Pmr5-Cas1p-esterase subfamily in that it contains the catalytic triad comprised of serine, aspartate and histidine and lacks two conserved regions (glycine after strand S2 and GxND motif). A pseudogene of this gene has been identified on the long arm of chromosome 2. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms.

PC-esterase domain containing 1B

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the GDSL/SGNH-like acyl-esterase family. Members of this family are hydrolases thought to function in modification of biopolymers on the cell surface. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]

esterase A4

esterase activator

ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L1 (ubiquitin thiolesterase)

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the peptidase C12 family. This enzyme is a thiol protease that hydrolyzes a peptide bond at the C-terminal glycine of ubiquitin. This gene is specifically expressed in the neurons and in cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Mutations in this gene may be associated with Parkinson disease.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase L3 (ubiquitin thiolesterase)

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the deubiquitinating enzyme family. Members of this family are proteases that catalyze the removal of ubiquitin from polypeptides and are divided into five classes, depending on the mechanism of catalysis. This protein may hydrolyze the ubiquitinyl-N-epsilon amide bond of ubiquitinated proteins to regenerate ubiquitin for another catalytic cycle. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]

esterase D

This gene encodes a serine hydrolase that belongs to the esterase D family. The encoded enzyme is active toward numerous substrates including O-acetylated sialic acids, and it may be involved in the recycling of sialic acids. This gene is used as a genetic marker for retinoblastoma and Wilson's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]

isoamyl acetate-hydrolyzing esterase 1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid catabolic process. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

cadherin-like and PC-esterase domain containing 1

Located in endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

lipase A, lysosomal acid, cholesterol esterase

This gene encodes lipase A, the lysosomal acid lipase (also known as cholesterol ester hydrolase). This enzyme functions in the lysosome to catalyze the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. Mutations in this gene can result in Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

neurexophilin and PC-esterase domain family, member 1

Predicted to be located in extracellular region and membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

neurexophilin and PC-esterase domain family, member 2

Predicted to be located in membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

neurexophilin and PC-esterase domain family, member 3

This gene encodes a member of the neurexophilin family of neuropeptide-like glycoproteins. The encoded protein contains a variable N-terminal domain, a highly conserved neurexophilin and PC-esterase (NXPE) central domain, a short linker region, and a cysteine-rich C-terminal domain. This protein binds alpha neurexins, a group of presynaptic transmembrane receptors that promote adhesion between dendrites and axons. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

granzyme A (granzyme 1, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated serine esterase 3)

Cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer (NK) cells share the remarkable ability to recognize, bind, and lyse specific target cells. They are thought to protect their host by lysing cells bearing on their surface 'nonself' antigens, usually peptides or proteins resulting from infection by intracellular pathogens. The protein described here is a T cell- and natural killer cell-specific serine protease that may function as a common component necessary for lysis of target cells by cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

granzyme B (granzyme 2, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated serine esterase 1)

This gene encodes a member of the granzyme subfamily of proteins, part of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases. The encoded preproprotein is secreted by natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and proteolytically processed to generate the active protease, which induces target cell apoptosis. This protein also processes cytokines and degrades extracellular matrix proteins, and these roles are implicated in chronic inflammation and wound healing. Expression of this gene may be elevated in human patients with cardiac fibrosis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
