Application

Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Oleoyl coenzyme A (Oleoyl-CoA) may be used to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) involved in long chain fatty acid cholesterol esterification.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Oleoyl-CoA is an important substrate, that is essential for the biosynthesis of 1-Alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol (ADG) and very long chain monounsaturated fatty acids of harderian gland (HG) 1-alkyl-2,3-diacylglycerol.

Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) is a membrane-bound enzyme utilizing long-chain fatty acyl-coenzyme A and cholesterol to form cholesteryl esters and coenzyme A. Previously, we had expressed tagged human ACAT1 (hACAT1) in CHO cells and purified it to homogeneity; however

The enzymes acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):cholesterol acyltransferases (ACATs) are membrane-bound proteins that utilize long-chain fatty acyl-CoA and cholesterol as substrates to form cholesteryl esters. In mammals, two isoenzymes, ACAT1 and ACAT2, encoded by two different genes, exist. ACATs play important roles

Sterol O-acyltransferase 1 (SOAT1) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident, multi-transmembrane enzyme that belongs to the membrane-bound O-acyltransferase (MBOAT) family. It catalyzes the esterification of cholesterol to generate cholesteryl esters for cholesterol storage. SOAT1 is a target to treat several
