Cocaine Esterase (CocE) is the most efficient protein to hydrolyze the cocaine domain known to date ''in vivo''.<sup><ref>"Effects of cocaine esterase following its repeated administration with cocaine in mice" Mei-Chaun Ko, Diwahar Narasimhan, Aaron A.

Drug and Alcohol Dependence 1 May 2009;101:202-09. doi: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2009.01.002</ref></sup> Cocaine Esterase is used in bacterium ''Rhodococcus'' which hydrolyzes the cocaine that it uptakes and uses it for carbons and nitrogens. Although this protein metabolizes cocaine in bacterium, it is sure to induce an immune response as it is foreign to the human body. This could mitigate the effects of CocE if a person had suffered from cocaine toxicity.
