Protein
UniProt ID Q6UWW8
Protein name Carboxylesterase 3 (EC 3.1.1.1) (Liver carboxylesterase 31 homolog)
Protein function Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs. Shows low catalytic efficiency for hydrolysis of CPT-11 (7-ethyl-10-[4-(1-piperidino)-1-piperidino]-carbonyloxycamptothecin), a prodrug for camptoth
