FunFam 100: Carboxylic ester hydrolase

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Triacylglycerol lipase. [EC: 3.1.1.3]
Triacylglycerol + H(2)O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate.
  • The pancreatic enzyme acts only on an ester-water interface; the outer ester links are preferentially hydrolyzed.

Sterol esterase. [EC: 3.1.1.13]
A steryl ester + H(2)O = a sterol + a fatty acid.
  • A group of enzymes of broad specificity, acting on esters of sterols and long-chain fatty acids, that may also bring about the esterification of sterols.
  • Activated by bile salts.
