About Lcat

Summary

Enables phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase activity and platelet-activating factor acetyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of high-density lipoprotein particle assembly. Acts upstream of or within Cholesterol metabolic process and lipoprotein biosynthetic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Used to study Norum disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Norum disease and arteriosclerosis. Orthologous to human LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol Acyltransferase).
