Overview

Lee Biosolutions is the largest producer of Esterase from porcine liver used in urine controls and for kinetic resolutions and asymmetric ester hydrolysis in organic chemistry.

Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available, email Info@leebio.com for more details. 250,000 kU single lot sizes.

Liver esterases are heterogeneous enzymes responsible for detoxification of xenobiotics and activation of ester and amide prodrugs. They catalyze the hydrolysis of a carboxylic esters to the corresponding alcohols and carboxylic acids. These enzymes have wide substrate specificities[i], are resistant to denaturation[ii], and retain activity under near-anhydrous conditions[iii].

Lee Biosolutions manufactures esterase from porcine (Sus scrofa, domestic pig) liver in bulk quantities for use in synthesis, preparation of clinical controls, and research.
