'''Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase''' ('''LCAT''', also called '''phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase''') is an [[enzyme]] which converts free [[cholesterol]] into cholesteryl ester (a more hydrophobic form of cholesterol) which is then sequestered into the core of a [[lipoprotein]] particle eventually making the newly synthesized [[High density lipoprotein|HDL]] spherical and forcing the reaction to become unidirectional since the particles are removed from the surface. The enzyme is bound to [[high-density lipoprotein]]s (HDLs) and [[low-density lipoprotein]]s in the [[blood plasma]]

Overview

Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT, also called phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase) is an enzyme that esterifies the free cholesterol into chlesteryl ester by transferring an acyl chain from the R2 position of a phosphatidylcholine to the 3′-hydroxy residue of cholesterol. Cholesteryl ester is then sequestered into the core of a lipoprotein particle eventually making the newly synthesized HDL spherical and forcing the reaction to become unidirectional since the particles are removed from the surface. The enzyme is bound to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) and low-density lipoproteins in the blood plasma
