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
