Carboxylesterase 1 genetic variability, expression and potential for drug-drug interactions
2014-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) is the main human liver esterase and is involved in the metabolism and disposition of numerous endogenous and pharmacological compounds. Some of the substrates of this enzyme are widely prescribed agents such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), methylphenidate (Ritalin®) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu®).
