Several cases of liver cancers along with few carcinoids, squamous cell carcinomas, colorectal, stomach and pancreatic cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic positivity. Remaining cancers were mostly negative.
Most liver cancers and carcinoids along with few squamous cell carcinomas, endometrial, colorectal, thyroid and stomach cancers exhibited moderate to strong cytoplasmic immunoreactivity. Remaining cancer tissues were mostly negative.

Description
Carboxylesterase 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the carboxylesterase large family. The family members are responsible for the hydrolysis or transesterification of various xenobiotics, such as cocaine and heroin, and endogenous substrates with ester, thioester, or amide bonds. They may participate in fatty acyl and cholesterol ester metabolism, and may play a role in the blood-brain barrier system. This enzyme is the major liver enzyme and functions in liver drug clearance. Mutations of this gene cause carboxylesterase 1 deficiency. Three transcript variants encoding three different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
