Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs. Shows high catalytic efficiency for hydrolysis of 4-methyumbelliferyl acetate, heroin and 6-monoacetylmorphine. Ref.2
Catalytic activity	A carboxylic ester + H2O = an alcohol + a carboxylate.
Subunit structure	Monomer. Ref.2
Subcellular location	Endoplasmic reticulum lumen By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Preferentially expressed in intestine with moderate expression in liver. Within the intestine, highest expression is found in small intestine with lower expression in colon and rectum. Ref.1
Post-translational modification	Glycosylated. Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
