α-Naphthyl butyrate esterase, also referred to as naphthyl butyrate esterase or butyrate esterase, is a histological stain specific for white blood cells of the monocytic proliferation line. [ 1 ] References
Carboxylesterase 1 is a serine esterase and member of a large multigene carboxylesterase family. It is also part of the alpha/beta fold hydrolase family. [ 7 ] These enzymes are responsible for the hydrolysis of ester- and amide -bond-containing xenobiotics and drugs such as cocaine and heroin.
Acquired C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency, also referred to as acquired angioedema (AAE), is a rare medical condition that presents as body swelling that can be life-threatening and manifests due to another underlying medical condition.
The enzyme 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase (EC 3.1.1.47) catalyzes the reaction 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H 2 O 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate. The former is also known as platelet-activating factor. There are multiple enzymes with this function:

The enzyme sinapine esterase (EC 3.1.1.49) catalyzes the reaction sinapoylcholine + H 2 O sinapate + choline. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is sinapoylcholine sinapohydrolase.
The cells were derived from the peripheral blood of a 1-year-old human male with acute monocytic leukemia. Some of their characteristics are: [1] Expression of Fc receptor and C3b receptors while lacking surface and cytoplasmic immunoglobulins. Production of IL-1. Positive detection of alpha-naphthyl butyrate esterase and lysozymes
