Cholesterol Esterase from Candida Rugosa
| Cat# | NATE-1679 |
| Source | Candida Rugosa |
| Description |
Cholesterol esterase (CE) is also known as cholesterol ester hydrolase. This enzyme catalyzes the following reaction: Sterol Ester --------> Sterol + Fatty Acid. Cholesterol esterase activity has been demonstrated in pancreas, intestine, liver and kidney. The enzyme is inactivated by proteolytic enzymes but stabilized by proteolytic enzyme inhibitors and by bile salts. |
