It has a molecular mass of approximately 50 kDa. ACAT1 is present in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane and is expressed widely including in liver adrenal glands and macrophages. The enzyme's activity is significant in lipid metabolism storing cholesterol as cholesteryl esters.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nACAT1 plays a central role in cellular cholesterol homeostasis and in preventing cholesterol-induced cytotoxicity by converting free cholesterol into inert cholesteryl esters for storage. It functions as a homotetramer suggesting that it works as a part of a larger protein complex. ACAT1 influences lipid accumulation within cells and mediates the regulation of cholesterol levels which is vital for maintaining membrane integrity and cellular function.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nACAT1 participates in the cholesterol metabolism pathway and the lipid biosynthesis pathway. It interacts with proteins such as LDLR (low-density lipoprotein receptor) by controlling the availability of free cholesterol within cells. These pathways are critical in maintaining lipid balance and influencing lipoprotein metabolism. ACAT1's enzymatic activity impacts how cells manage cholesterol influx and storage linking to broader lipid regulation networks.\u003cbr\u003e\nACAT1 is associated with atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. The conversion of cholesterol into cholesteryl esters affects the development of atherosclerotic plaques contributing to cardiovascular disease risk. In Alzheimer's disease ACAT1 may influence the accumulation of amyloid-beta a protein linked to the pathology of the disease. The protein APP (amyloid precursor protein) connects to ACAT1 as disturbances in cholesterol metabolism can affect amyloid-beta production linking this enzyme to neurodegenerative conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851618570409,"sku":"ab312321","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab312321","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
