ACYL-COENZYME A:CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1997
Due to its presumed role in regulating cellular cholesterol homeostasis, and in various pathophysiological conditions, acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) has attracted much attention. Cloning the ACAT gene provides the necessary tool to advance molecular studies of this enzyme.

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1997
In this article the properties, assay, distribution, subcellular localization, deficiency in congenital peroxisomal disorders, purification and physiological functions of dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.42) are reviewed.

Serine carboxypeptidase-like acyltransferases

Phytochemistry, 2004
In plant secondary metabolism, an alternative pathway of ester formation is facilitated by acyltransferases accepting 1-O-beta-acetal esters (1-O-beta-glucose esters) as acyl donors instead of coenzyme A thioesters. Molecular data indicate homology of these transferases with hydrolases of the serine carboxypeptidase type defining them as serine ...

Mammalian acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferases

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000
Cholesterol, the chief sterol found in vertebrates, exists both as a free sterol and as a component of cholesterol esters, which are synthesized by acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) enzymes. Considerable knowledge concerning cholesterol ester metabolism has accumulated during the past century. However, rapid advances have occurred in the past

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).
