  2. Cholesteryl ester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteryl_ester

    Cholesterol oleate, a member of the cholesteryl ester family. Cholesteryl esters are a type of dietary lipid and are ester derivatives of cholesterol. The ester bond is formed between the carboxylate group of a fatty acid and the hydroxyl group of cholesterol. Cholesteryl esters have a lower solubility in water due to their increased ...

    The systematic name is steryl-ester acylhydrolase. Other names in common use include cholesterol esterase , cholesteryl ester synthase , triterpenol esterase , cholesteryl esterase , cholesteryl ester hydrolase , sterol ester hydrolase , cholesterol ester hydrolase , cholesterase , and acylcholesterol lipase .

  4. Cholesterol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol

    Cholesterol is the principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. [3] [4]Cholesterol is biosynthesized by all animal cells [citation needed] and is an essential structural and signaling component of animal cell membranes.

  5. Sterol O-acyltransferase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterol_O-acyltransferase

    Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acyl-CoA and cholesterol, whereas its two products are CoA and cholesteryl ester. This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups, the membrane-bound O-acyltransferases. This enzyme participates in bile acid ...

  7. Lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipoprotein

    The outer shell of lipoprotein particles have the hydrophilic groups of phospholipids, cholesterol, and apolipoproteins directed outward. Such characteristics make them soluble in the salt-water-based blood pool. Triglycerides and cholesteryl esters are carried internally, shielded from the water by the outer shell. The kind of apolipoproteins ...

  8. Cholesteryl nonanoate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesteryl_nonanoate

    Cholesteryl nonanoate, also called cholesteryl pelargonate, 3β-cholest-5-en-3-ol nonaoate or cholest-5-ene-3-β-yl nonanoate, is an ester of cholesterol and nonanoic acid. It is a liquid crystal material forming cholesteric liquid crystals with helical structure.

  9. Hormone-sensitive lipase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone-sensitive_lipase

    Hormone-sensitive lipase (EC 3.1.1.79, HSL), also previously known as cholesteryl ester hydrolase (CEH), [5] sometimes referred to as triacylglycerol lipase, is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the LIPE gene, [6] and catalyzes the following reaction: (1) diacylglycerol + H 2 O = monoacylglycerol + a carboxylate
