Cholesterol esterase, with the CAS number 9026-00-0, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters into free cholesterol and fatty acids, facilitating the absorption and transport of cholesterol in the body. This enzyme is primarily found in the pancreas and is secreted into the digestive tract, where it aids in the digestion of dietary fats. Cholesterol esterase is a member of the carboxylesterase family and exhibits specificity for cholesterol esters, making it essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis. It operates optimally at physiological pH and temperature, reflecting its biological function. The enzyme is also of interest in various biotechnological applications, including the development of diagnostic assays and therapeutic interventions related to lipid disorders. Its activity can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators, which are important considerations in both research and clinical settings.
