Protein
Sterol O-acyltransferase 1
Function
Catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol. Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to its acyltransferase activity, it may act as a ligase.
Similarity
Belongs to the membrane-bound acyltransferase family. Sterol o-acyltransferase subfamily.
