Description: CEL-maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), diabetes with pancreatic lipomatosis and exocrine dysfunction, is due to dominant frameshift mutations in the acinar cell carboxyl ester lipase gene (CEL). Bile-salt activated carboxylic ester lipase (CEL) is a major triglyceride, cholesterol ester and...

CEL-maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY), diabetes with pancreatic lipomatosis and exocrine dysfunction, is due to dominant frameshift mutations in the acinar cell carboxyl ester lipase gene (CEL). Bile-salt activated carboxylic ester lipase (CEL) is a major triglyceride, cholesterol ester and vitamin ester...

Carboxyl ester lipase, also known as bile salt­stimulated lipase, belongs to the Type­B carboxyl esterase/lipase family of enzymes. The enzyme possesses a Ser­His­Asp catalytictriad, and is capable of hydrolyzing both ester and amide bonds. CEL is a non­specificlipase which hydrolyzes a variety of substrates,...

CEL, also known as bile salt-activated lipase, is one of the Type-B carboxyl esterase/lipase family of enzymes. It is an enzyme produced by the adult pancreas and aids in the digestion of fats. Also, it catalyzes fat and vitamin absorption and acts in concert with pancreatic lipase and colipase for the complete...
