    Summary
    Enables serine hydrolase activity. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; germline cell; gut section; posterior ectoderm anlage; and posterior endoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and gastrointestinal system cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including CES1 (carboxylesterase 1); CES2 (carboxylesterase 2); and CES3 (carboxylesterase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
