Predicted to enable carboxylic ester hydrolase activity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; hepatocellular carcinoma; and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human CES1 (carboxylesterase 1) and CES4A (carboxylesterase 4A).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
