- Description
- Predicted to have cholesterol O-acyltransferase activity; cholesterol binding activity; and fatty-acyl-CoA binding activity. Involved in cholesterol esterification. Predicted to localize to endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Is expressed in several structures, including hatching gland; liver; pleuroperitoneal region; retina; and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to human SOAT2 (sterol O-acyltransferase 2).
