MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] 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 also participate in fatty acyl and cholesterol ester metabolism, and may play a role in the blood-brain barrier system. This gene, also called CES6, encodes a secreted enzyme, and may play a role in the detoxification of drugs and xenobiotics in neural and other tissues of the body and in the cerebrospinal fluid. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been reported, but the full-length nature and/or biological validity of some variants have not been determined.

Nature of Mutation
DNA sequencing using the SOLiD technique identified an A to G transition at position 1479 of the Ces8 transcript.  The mutated nucleotide causes an arginine to glycine substitution at amino acid 443 of the encoded protein. The mutation has been confirmed by DNA sequencing using the Sanger method (Figure 1).
 
Protein Function and Prediction
The Ces8 gene encodes a putative 563 amino acid secreted carboxylesterase (Uniprot Q8R0W5).    
 
The R443G change is predicted to be possibly damaging by the PolyPhen program.
