Effects of a new single-nucleotide polymorphism in the Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase-2 gene on plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in patients with hyperlipidemia.

Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis - 1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) catalyzes cholesterol esterification in mammalian cells. Two isoforms of ACAT have been reported to date (ACAT-1 and ACAT-2). ACAT-1 protein is ubiquitously expressed in tissues, including macrophages, hepatocytes, adrenal glands, and intestines. In contrast, ACAT-2 is expressed mainly in the intestine in humans. However, the roles of ACAT-1 and ACAT-2 in lipoprotein...
