A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of CES2 antibody, Alternative Names: Carboxylesterase 2 control peptide, Carboxylesterase 2 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-Carboxylesterase 2 Blocking Peptide, CES2 Blocking Peptide, CE-2 Blocking Peptide, iCE Blocking Peptide, Carboxylesterase 2, Carboxylesterase -2, Carboxylesterase 2, Carboxylesterase -2 Blocking Peptide, Carboxylesterase 2 Blocking Peptide
Carboxylesterase 2 is a member of a large multigene family. The enzymes are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester- and amide-bond-containing drugs such as cocaine and heroin. They also hydrolize long-chain fatty acid esters and thioesters. The specific function of this enzyme has not yet been determined, however, it is speculated that carboxylesterases may play a role in lipid metabolism and/or the blood-brain barrier system.
