| Application: | Cholesteryl arachidoante was oxidized and used to study the biological effects. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Cholesteryl arachidonate is a cholesterol ester found associated with the neutral core of low density lipoprotein. Receptor-LDL complexes are taken up by lysosomes and hydrolyzed to release cholesterol from the esters. The enzyme acid cholesteryl ester hydrolase is responsible for the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters; a defective enzyme can result in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in humans. |
