摘要

Acyl-Coenzyme A:cholesterol Acyltransferases (ACATs), members of the membrane bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family, catalyze the conversion of cholesterol to cholesteryl esters. Mammals contain two isoenzymes ACAT1 and ACAT2. Both enzymes are drug targets for treating human diseases. ACAT1 is present ubiquitously in various cell types. It contains 9 transmembrane domains (TMDs) with the active site H460 locating within TMD #7, and another active site N421 locating within the 4th large cytoplasmic loop. In human ACAT1, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) exists for residue 526: the codon is either CAG for glutamine (Q), or CGG for arginine (R). Q/R 526 is present within the C-terminal loop. Its biochemical ... More
