ESD, Official Symbol ESDprovided by HGNC Official Full Name esterase Dprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:3465 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000139684 MIM:133280; AllianceGenome:HGNC:3465 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as FGH Summary This gene encodes a serine hydrolase that belongs to the esterase D family. The encoded enzyme is active toward numerous substrates including O-acetylated sialic acids, and it may be involved in the recycling of sialic acids. This gene is used as a genetic marker for retinoblastoma and Wilson's disease.
