Oligomerization of DHHC Protein S-Acyltransferases [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013 The formation of dimers or higher-order oligomers is a property of numerous integral membrane proteins, including ion channels, transporters, and receptors. In this study, we examined whether members of the DHHC-S-acyltransferase family oligomerize in intact cells and in vitro.

Mboat7 down-regulation by hyper-insulinemia induces fat accumulation in hepatocytes [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND: Naturally occurring variation in Membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing 7 (MBOAT7), encoding for an enzyme involved in phosphatidylinositol acyl-chain remodelling, has been associated with fatty liver and hepatic disorders.

Modulation of triglyceride and cholesterol ester synthesis impairs assembly of infectious hepatitis C virus [PDF]
, 2014 In hepatitis C virus infection, replication of the viral genome and virion assembly are linked to cellular metabolic processes. In particular, lipid droplets, which store principally triacylglycerides (TAGs) and cholesterol esters (CEs), have been ...

Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferases [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2009 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. In mammals, two isoenzymes, ACAT1 and ACAT2, encoded by two different genes, exist.

A calcium-dependent acyltransferase that produces N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines
Nature Chemical Biology, 2016 More than 30 years ago, a calcium-dependent enzyme activity was described that generates N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamines (NAPEs), which are precursors for N-acyl ethanolamine (NAE) lipid transmitters, including the endocannabinoid anandamide.
