ACAT Antibody - Protein Information

Name CES1
Synonyms CES2, SES1
Function
Involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and in the activation of ester and amide prodrugs. Hydrolyzes aromatic and aliphatic esters, but has no catalytic activity toward amides or a fatty acyl-CoA ester. Hydrolyzes the methyl ester group of cocaine to form benzoylecgonine. Catalyzes the transesterification of cocaine to form cocaethylene. Displays fatty acid ethyl ester synthase activity, catalyzing the ethyl esterification of oleic acid to ethyloleate
Cellular Location
Endoplasmic reticulum lumen.
Tissue Location
Expressed predominantly in liver with lower levels in heart and lung

BACKGROUND

Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) is an integral membrane enzyme that belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family. ACAT catalyzes the formation of cholesteryl esters from cholesterol and long-chain fatty-acyl-coenzyme A (1). ACAT also function as a regulator of intracellular cholesterol homeostasis at a single cell level. Two isoforms of ACAT, ACAT1 and ACAT2, are expressed in the liver and intestine. However, ACAT1 is only found in macrophages and SMCs (2). The accumulation of cholesteryl esters produced by ACAT in macrophages can lead to foam cell formation, an indication of early stage atherosclerosis. ACAT activity has been linked to Alzheimer's Disease, a condition caused by excess amount of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta). Atherogenic lipoproteins activate ACAT activity, where active ACAT can modulate the level of Abeta (3).
