carboxylesterase

carboxylesterase
car·box·yl·es·ter·ase (kahr-bok″səl-esґtər-ās) [EC 3.1.1.1] an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes cleavage of the ester bond in a carboxylic ester to form an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. It has wide specificity, usually acting on short-chain acids linked to monohydric alcohols, and also hydrolyzes esters of vitamin A.
