Alternate Names for Recombinant Human LCAT Protein

• EC 2.3.1.43
• lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferasePhospholipid-cholesterol acyltransferase
• phosphatidylcholine-sterol acyltransferase

Background

This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. [provided by RefSeq]
