Description: Triacylglycerol hydrolase is a microsomal enzyme that hydrolyzes stored cytoplasmic triacylglycerol in the liver and participates in the lipolysis/re-esterification cycle during the assembly of very-low-density lipoproteins. Expression of human TGH in Escherichia coli yields a protein without enzymatic activity, which suggests that posttranslational processing is necessary for the catalytic activity (1). ACAT esterifies free cholesterol and stores cholesteryl esters in lipid droplets. Macrophage ACAT1 deficiency results in increased atherosclerotic lesion area in hyperlipidemic mice via disrupted cholesterol efflux, increased lipoprotein uptake, accumulation of intracellular vesicles, and accelerated apoptosis (2). Data show that macrophage ACAT1 influences the efflux of both cellular and lipoprotein-derived cholesterol and propose a pathway for the pro-atherogenic transformation of ACAT1(-/-) macrophages (3). Specificity: A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues on the C-terminus of human ACAT was used as an immunogen.
