This family consists of both phospholipases [1] and carboxylesterases with broad substrate specificity, and is structurally related to alpha/beta hydrolases Pfam:PF00561 [2].

This is an N-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain found in esterases such as EstA. Analysis of the EstA structure confirms that it is a member of the alpha/beta hydrolase family, with a conserved Ser-Asp-His catalytic triad. The Ig-like domain presumably plays a role in the multimerization of EstA into an unusual hexameric structure. Additionally, it may also participate in the catalysis of EstA by guiding the substrate to the active site [1].
