Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases. [PDF]
The enzymes acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) are membrane-bound proteins that utilize long-chain fatty acyl-CoA and cholesterol as substrates to form cholesteryl esters.

A rapid assay of acyl-coenzyme A:lysolecithin acyltransferase activity
A simple and rapid procedure for the assay of acyl-coenzyme A:1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acyltransferase (lysolecithin acyltransferase, LLAT [EC 2.3.1.23]) activity in crude enzyme preparations is described.

Acyl‐coenzyme A organizes laterally in membranes and is recognized specifically by acyl‐coenzyme A binding protein [PDF]
Long chain acyl‐coenzyme A (acyl‐CoA) is a biochemically important amphiphilic molecule that is known to partition strongly into membranes by insertion of the acyl chain. At present, microscopically resolved evidence is lacking on how acyl‐CoA influences and organizes laterally in membranes. By atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging of membranes exposed

The pathophysiology of leg cramping during dialysis and the use of carnitine in its treatment
Leg cramping is a common side effect of hemodialysis, and this is frequently treated by the administration of carnitine, but this is not effective in every patient. Alkalosis is a key component of the etiology of leg cramping during hemodialysis sessions.

Acyl Coenzyme A Synthetase Regulation: Putative Role in Long‐Chain Acyl Coenzyme A Partitioning [PDF]
AbstractObjective: Long‐chain acyl coenzyme A synthetase (ACSL) converts free fatty acids (FFAs) into their metabolizable long‐chain acyl coenzyme A (LC‐CoA) derivatives that are essential for FFA conversion to CO2, triglycerides, or complex lipids. ACSL‐1 is highly expressed in adipose tissue with broad substrate specificity.

Evaluation of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A synthetase 4 (ACSL4) expression in human breast cancer
Background and purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is one of the major causes of female cancer-related death. It has recently been demonstrated that metabolic reprogramming including alteration in lipid metabolism is indicated in various types of cancer.
