| carboxylase |
an enzyme that catalyzes the addition of a molecule of carbon dioxide to another compound to form a carboxyl group. The carboxylases include some carboxy-lyases [EC 4.1.1] and those ligases, usually biotinyl-proteins, that cleave ATP to drive the reaction [EC 6.4.1].

| carboxylesterase |
[EC 3.1.1.1] an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the cleavage of the ester bond in a carboxylic ester to form an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. It has a wide specificity, usually acting on short-chain acids linked to monohydric alcohols, and also hydrolyzes esters of vitamin A.
