Arylesterase is the phenolic-ester-hydrolyzing serum enzyme. It hydrolyzes phenyl acetate with water, releasing phenol and acetate; the three human paraoxonase forms are actually lactonases whose best substrate is 5-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid 1,5-lactone. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
