TL;DR: An expressed sequence tag clone that shared regions of similarity with acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase, an enzyme that also uses fatty acyl coA as a substrate was identified, which will greatly facilitate studies of cellular glycerolipid metabolism and its regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A second mammalian ACAT enzyme is described, designated ACAT-2, that is 44% identical to the first cloned mouse ACAT (henceforth designated ACat-1) and will facilitate molecular approaches to understanding the role of ACAT enzymes in mammalian biology.
