The Role of LCAT and Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Proteins for the HDL and LDL Structure and Metabolism

  • Chapter
Lipoproteins and Atherosclerosis

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 210))

Abstract

Lecithins: cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) is an enzyme of man and many animal species which catalyzes the formation of cholesteryl esters (CE) in plasma. Glomset(l) was first to describe in 1962 that phosphatidyl choline (lecithin) and free cholesterol (FC) are involved in this reactions LCAT transfers the fatty acid of position -2 of lecithin to the -OH group of free cholesterol yielding in lysolecithin and CE.
