Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyltransferase family. It is located in the endoplasmic reticulum, and catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters. This gene has been implicated in the formation of beta-amyloid and atherosclerotic plaques by controlling the equilibrium between free cholesterol and cytoplasmic cholesteryl esters. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

Alternative Products Event=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=3; Name=1; IsoId=P35610-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=P35610-2; Sequence=VSP_045331; Name=3; IsoId=P35610-3; Sequence=VSP_045330;
Catalytic Activity Acyl-CoA + cholesterol = CoA + cholesterol ester.
Function Catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol. Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. In addition to its acyltransferase activity, it may act as a ligase.
Induction Highly activated by the presence of cholesterol.
Interaction Q9Y5Z9:UBIAD1; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-6621997, EBI-2819725;
Similarity Belongs to the membrane-bound acyltransferase family. Sterol o-acyltransferase subfamily.
Subcellular Location Endoplasmic reticulum membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein .
Subunit May form homo- or heterodimers. Interacts with UBIAD1.
