Ces1a

Predicted to enable carboxylesterase activity and sterol ester esterase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to cholesterol; cholesterol homeostasis; and regulation of steroid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplet. Is expressed in ductus deferens and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and gastrointestinal system cancer. Orthologous to human CES1 (carboxylesterase 1).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ces1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
