Inhibition mechanism of human sterol O-acyltransferase 1 by competitive inhibitor
2020-01-08
Abstract excerpt
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident, multi-transmembrane enzyme that belongs to the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family 1 . It catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol to generate cholesteryl esters for cholesterol storage 2 . SOAT1 is a target to treat several human diseases 3 . However, its structure and mechanism remain elusive since its discovery. Here...
