Role of Human Carboxylesterase’s in Xenobiotics Metabolism
Abstract: According to one definition, xenobiotics are alien compounds that interfere with an organism's natural metabolism. Many xenobiotics can have a number of harmful effects if they don't have metabolism. There are several phase 1 metabolizing enzymes of xenobiotics which have capability to detoxify the toxic compounds. Several important metabolic detoxication enzymes are presented, including the mammalian microsomal cytochrome Carboxylesterases. Mammalian carboxyleterases are key enzymes from the serine hydrolase enzyme. Carboxylesterases …
