Quantitative analysis of the expression of ACAT 1 genes in human tissues by real-time PCR2

Quantitative analysis of the expression of ACAT 1 genes in human tissues by real-time PCR2

ACAT (also called sterol o-acyltransferase) catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol by reaction with long-chain acyl-CoA derivatives and plays a pivotal role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis. Although two human ACAT genes termed ACAT-1 and ACAT-2 have been reported, prior research on...
