  • fatty-acyl-CoA binding
  • cholesterol O-acyltransferase activity
  • sterol O-acyltransferase activity
Processes
  • cholesterol efflux
  • cholesterol homeostasis
  • cholesterol metabolic process
  • very-low-density lipoprotein particle assembly
  • cholesterol esterification

General FunctionSterol o-acyltransferase activity
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol. Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to its acyltransferase activity, it may act as a ligase.
