Protein Function :

Central enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Synthesized mainly in the liver and secreted into plasma where it converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and lysophosphatidylcholines on the surface of high and low density lipoproteins (HDLs and LDLs) (PubMed:19065001). The cholesterol ester is then transported back to the liver. Also produced in the brain by primary astrocytes, and esterifies free cholesterol on nascent APOE-containing lipoproteins secreted from glia and influences cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) APOE- and APOA1 levels (PubMed:19065001). Together with APOE and the cholesterol transporter ABCA1, plays a key role in the maturation of glial-derived, nascent lipoproteins (PubMed:19065001). Required for remodeling high-density lipoprotein particles into their spherical forms (PubMed:19065001). Has a preference for plasma 16:0-18:2 or 18:O- 18:2 phosphatidylcholines (PubMed:8820107).

Subcellular Localization :

Secreted. Secreted into blood plasma (PubMed:8820107). Produced in astrocytes and secreted into cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) (By similarity).

Tissue Specificity :

Detected in blood plasma (PubMed:8820107). Produced and secreted by astrocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:19065001). Abundantly expressed in liver, brain and testis with highest levels in liver. In the brain, found in cerebellum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus and brain stem. Located to neurons and neuroglia.

Recommended Detection Systems :

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot.

Background :

LCAT (Lecithin: Cholesterol Acyltransferase), is an enzyme that converts free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester. Azoulay et al. (1987) used a cDNA clone corresponding to LCAT to assign the locus to 16q22 through the analysis of DNA from somatic cell hybrids and in situ hybridization. LCAT plays an important role in lipoprotein metabolism, especially in the process termed 'reverse cholesterol transport.' The enzyme is synthesized in the liver and circulates in blood plasma as a complex with components of high density lipoprotein (HDL). Cholesterol from peripheral cells is transferred to HDL particles, esterified through the action of LCAT on HDL, and incorporated into the core of the lipoprotein. The cholesterol ester is thereby transported to the liver (Jonas, 2000).
