Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000
Cholesterol transport in circulation and its removal from tissues depends on the activity of lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). LCAT is a soluble enzyme that converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lyso-phosphatidylcholines on the surface of high-density lipoproteins.

Lysophospholipid acyltransferases

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2012
Over the past several years, many more isoforms for the same enzymes, specifically for 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferases (AGPATs), have been cloned and studied. In this review, we summarize their biochemical features and discuss their functional role.The most significant role of these AGPATs appeared from our observation of AGPAT2 in the ...

18 Carnitine Acyltransferases

1983
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on carnitine acyltransferases. The carnitine enzyme with a large acyl transfer capacity for acetyl residues is called “carnitine acetyltransferase” (CAT), whereas the enzyme, which has a high transfer capacity for palmityl residues, is named “carnitine palmityltransferase” (CPT).

[Lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase].

Nihon rinsho. Japanese journal of clinical medicine, 1995
Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is a plasma enzyme that catalyzes esterification of plasma lipoprotein unesterified cholesterol, and plays a central role in maintaining reverse cholesterol transport through action with high density lipoprotein (HDL) and Cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP).
