    basic FUNCTION
  • may have a role in detoxification
  • enhances type I interferon signal transduction to suppress foot-and-mouth disease virus replication
  • ESD served as a deacetylase to remove Thr89 acetylation of JAB1 and increased its activity
  • is a nonspecific esterase that detoxifies formaldehyde
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • ESD/FKBP3/MTOR signaling pathway is involved in inhibiting tumor cell growth via regulating autophagy
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • ESD served as a deacetylase to remove Thr89 acetylation of COPS5 and increased its activity
  • SPEG is required for stability of excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) complexes and interacts with esterase D (ESD), CMYA5, and Fibronectin Type III and FSD2 in cardiac and skeletal muscle
