High impact information on Es9

Esterase 6A was immunologically related to esterase 1 and esterase 9, with which it is genetically closely linked [1].
The comparison of results obtained by different separation and staining techniques permits the definition of esterase-6 in comparison with esterase-9 and a new esterase, esterase-20 [2].
The Es-9 esterase is expressed in the cortical zone of the NMRI mouse kidney only in the presence of testosterone [3].
It is suggested that the testosterone dependent appearance of Es-9 activity is due to true enzyme induction which requires the presence of an intact testosterone receptor [3].
With the non selectively staining Q-O-2 several esterases were demonstrated Es-2, adn Es-9 among them [4].

Biological context of Es9

Close linkage with the Es-2 gene leads us to map the Es-9 gene on chromosome 8 [5].

Anatomical context of Es9

Comparing the disc electrophoretic patterns of the kidney esterases with the distribution of esterases in ultrathin sections as revealed by electron microscopy it is concluded that the Es-9 esterase is located in the mitochondria [6].

Other interactions of Es9

The close linkage of Es-6 and Es-9 is confirmed [2].
Esterase. XXI. Es-9, a possibly new polymorphic esterase in Mus musculus genetically linked to es-2 [5].
