Esterases in the liver play a crucial role in metabolizing many drugs and toxic compounds.

The esterase in the cell lysate rapidly cleaved the fluorescent substrate during the assay.

The esterasic properties of the compound were confirmed through multiple biochemical assays.

The research team discovered novel sterol esterases that accelerate lipid digestion in the gut microbiome.

During lipid digestion, the sterol esterase secreted by the pancreas helps break down cholesterol esters into absorbable components.

The laboratory measured the activity of cholesterol esterase in the patient’s pancreatic fluid to assess fat malabsorption.
