Ces1c

Ces1c is a gene that encodes a member of the carboxylesterase enzyme family, playing a significant role in metabolic processes. Carboxylesterases are enzymes involved in the hydrolysis of various substrates, including drugs, lipids, and other biologically active molecules. The protein encoded by the Ces1c gene plays a specific catalytic role in these metabolic processes. It primarily participates in drug metabolism, influencing drug activity and clearance rates. Additionally, it has a role in lipid metabolism. Understanding its function and involvement in metabolic pathways contributes to comprehending drug metabolism and lipid regulation, potentially offering guidance for drug design and disease treatment.
