REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

ESD also known as esterase D or S-formylglutathione hydrolase is a protein with a mass of approximately 31 kDa. ESD is expressed in various tissues and cells including HEK-293T cells. Cell lysate studies often utilize the ESD line to analyze its enzymatic activity and expression profile. The protein plays a mechanical role in hydrolyzing esters of glutathione contributing to the detoxification processes within the cell.
Biological function summary
ESD contributes to maintaining cellular homeostasis through its role in detoxification and response to oxidative stress. It interacts with the degradation of S-formylglutathione a byproduct formed during alcohol metabolism. ESD is not typically associated with a larger protein complex but its enzymatic function is important for cellular health and efficient elimination of toxic metabolites protecting cells from damage and supporting metabolic pathways.
Pathways
ESD's enzymatic activity is integrated into the glutathione metabolism and alcohol metabolism pathways. Here ESD acts alongside enzymes like glutathione S-transferase to convert harmful aldehydes into less toxic forms aiding in cellular resilience. The protein helps modulate oxidative stress responses cooperating indirectly with other detoxification proteins within these pathways to maintain optimal cellular function.
ESD associations include certain forms of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal ESD expression or activity can result in disturbed detoxification leading to oxidative stress and cell damage. In cancer ESD has been implicated in tumor progression potentially linked with other proteins like GSTP1 which also participates in detoxification. In neurodegenerative conditions defective detoxification pathways involving ESD may contribute to neuronal injury and disease progression making it a potential target for therapeutic exploration.
