Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables carboxylesterase activity; sterol ester esterase activity; and triacylglycerol lipase activity. Involved in acylglycerol catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular lipid catabolic process; circadian temperature homeostasis; and cold-induced thermogenesis. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum lumen; and lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including cochlear duct; gut; liver; nose; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and gastrointestinal system cancer. Orthologous to human CES1 (carboxylesterase 1).
