Data provided by the National Library of Medicine- Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency increases atherosclerosis in the low density lipoprotein receptor and apolipoprotein E knockout mice.
- ApoA-I secretion from HepG2 cells: evidence for the secretion of both lipid-poor apoA-I and intracellularly assembled nascent HDL.
- In vivo contribution of LCAT to apolipoprotein B lipoprotein cholesteryl esters in LDL receptor and apolipoprotein E knockout mice.
- Transgenic overexpression of human lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in mice does not increase aortic cholesterol deposition.
- The spectrum of hypopituitarism caused by PROP1 mutations.
- Enhancement of scavenger receptor class B type I-mediated selective cholesteryl ester uptake from apoA-I(-/-) high density lipoprotein (HDL) by apolipoprotein A-I requires HDL reorganization by lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase.
- Targeted deletion of the ileal bile acid transporter eliminates enterohepatic
- Identification of the lipoprotein initiating domain of apolipoprotein B.
- Harmful effects of increased LDLR expression in mice with human APOE*4 but not APOE*3.
- Compared with Acyl-CoA:cholesterol O-acyltransferase (ACAT) 1 and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase, ACAT2 displays the greatest capacity to differentiate cholesterol from sitosterol.
- Negative charge at amino acid 149 is the molecular determinant for substrate specificity of lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase for phosphatidylcholine containing 20-carbon sn-2 fatty acyl chains.
- Prebeta high density lipoprotein has two metabolic fates in human apolipoprotein A-I transgenic mice.
- Amino acids 149 and 294 of human lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase affect fatty acyl specificity.
- Estrogen and HDL: all that glitters is not gold.
- Plasma cholesteryl esters provided by lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase and acyl-coenzyme a:cholesterol acyltransferase 2 have opposite atherosclerotic potential.
