Abstract excerpt
Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) catalyzes the esterification of plasma lipoprotein cholesterol in mammals as part of the reverse cholesterol transport pathway. Studies of the natural mutations of LCAT revealed a region that is highly sensitive to mutations (residues 121-136) and it is highly conserved in six animal species. The purpose of these studies was to investigate the reactivity of wild type...
