Carboxylesterases (EC 3.1.1). Amino acid composition of liver carboxylesterases.
The amino acid compositions of the carboxylesterases from chicken, ,orse, ox, sheep, and pig livers are reported and compared. As would be expected for this homologous series, the compositions show a general similarity. However, there are some significant differences, but the degree to which particular pairs of enzymes differ is consistent with the evolutionary history of the species from which they were isolated.
