Baboon lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT): cDNA sequences of two alleles, evolution, and gene expression.

Gene - 30 Jun 1993

Hixson J E, Driscoll D M, Birnbaum S, Britten M L

Abstract excerpt

Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is a key enzyme of cholesterol metabolism that catalyzes esterification of cholesterol for packaging in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. In this study, we cloned and sequenced LCAT cDNA from baboon, a nonhuman primate model of atherosclerosis. LCAT sequences have been highly conserved over approximately 25 million years since the divergence of the baboon and...
