Transfer of cholesterol and a fluorescent cholesterol analog, 3'-pyrenylmethyl-23,24-dinor-5-cholen-22-oate-3 beta-ol, between human plasma high density lipoproteins.
A fluorescent cholesterol analog, 3'-pyrenylmethyl-23,24-dinor-5-cholen-22-oate-3 beta-ol (PMCA), has been synthesized as a spectroscopic probe of cholesterol function. The substrate activity of PMCA, about two-thirds that of cholesterol, with lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase indicates that...
