észterázok
Eszterázok, often translated as esterases, are a broad class of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds. This hydrolysis reaction breaks down an ester into its constituent alcohol and carboxylic acid. Esterases are found in virtually all organisms, from bacteria to humans, and play crucial roles in a wide range of biological processes. They are particularly important in metabolism, detoxification, and signal transduction.
The activity of esterases is diverse, and they can act on a variety of ester substrates. Some
In humans and other animals, esterases are involved in the breakdown of dietary fats, the metabolism of
The study of esterases is important for understanding various physiological and pathological conditions. Dysregulation of esterase
