• Characterization of insertion variants of the carboxyl-ester lipase (CEL) gene - A role in pancreatic disease? 

      Brekke, Ranveig Seim (Master thesis, 2018-06-26)
      Carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is a digestive enzyme that is mainly expressed in the acinar cells of the pancreas. The CEL gene is highly polymorphic due to a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) region in the last exon. ...

      Background & aims: The CEL gene encodes the digestive enzyme carboxyl ester lipase. CEL-HYB1, a hybrid allele of CEL and its adjacent pseudogene CELP, is a genetic variant suggested to increase the risk of chronic pancreatitis ...
