The sterol substrate specificity of acyl CoA: :cholesterol acyltransferase from rat liver.
Rat liver microsomes were incubated with various sterols suspended in Triton WR-1339, and the extent of esterification of these sterols by acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase was determined. A 3 beta-hydroxyl group was required for esterification to occur. Furthermore, the rate of ester formation o...
