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....
