Efficient in vitro refolding and functional characterization of recombinant human liver carboxylesterase (CES1) expressed in E. coli

•Expression of recombinant human carboxylesterase I in E. coli is mainly insoluble.•Refolding using a combination of 1% glycerol and 2 mM β-mercaptoethanol in Tris–HCl, pH 7.5 significantly improved solubility.•Purified recombinant human CES1 is functionally active and stable.•We provided efficient...
