Intestinal human carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) expression rescues drug metabolism and most metabolic syndrome phenotypes in global Ces2 cluster knockout mice
4 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Carboxylesterase 2 (CES2) is expressed mainly in liver and intestine, but most abundantly in intestine. It hydrolyzes carboxylester, thioester, and amide bonds in many exogenous and endogenous compounds, including lipids. CES2 therefore not only plays an important role in the metabolism of many (pro-)drugs, toxins and pesticides, directly influencing pharmacology and toxicology in humans, but it is also...
