Gene nameSOAT2
Protein nameSterol O-acyltransferase 2 (EC 2.3.1.26) (Acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase 2) (ACAT-2) (Cholesterol acyltransferase 2)
Sterol O-acyltransferase 2
SynonymsACAT2
ACACT2
DescriptionFUNCTION: 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 . Utilizes oleoyl-CoA ((9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA) and linolenoyl-CoA ((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadecatrienoyl-CoA) as substrates . May provide cholesteryl esters for lipoprotein secretion from hepatocytes and intestinal mucosa . .; FUNCTION: [Isoform 2]: Has lower enzymatic activity compared to isoform 1. .; FUNCTION: [Isoform 3]: Has lower enzymatic activity compared to isoform 1. .
