Anti-CES1 (Carboxylesterase 1, ACAT, CEH, Monocyte/macrophage serine esterase 1, HMSE, HMSE1, MGC117

Carboxylesterases (CES) are ubiquitous enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of endogenous substrates with ester, thioester, or amide bonds and of xenobiotics (effecting detoxification or drug metabolism). Drug half-life and bioavailability may be modulated by selective inhibition of these proteins. CES1 or hCE1 (also known as acyl coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase, monocyte/macrophage serine esterase, HMSE, serine esterase 1, brain carboxylesterase, triacylglycerol hydrolase, egasyn and retinyl ester hydrolase) is responsible for hydrolysis of stored cholesterol esters in macrophage foam cells and release of free cholesterol for high density lipoprotein-mediated cholesterol efflux. , , Applications:, Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1:2,500-1:5,000, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
