Lecithin: cholesterol-acyl-transferase (LCAT) activity in renal allograft patients. Preliminary report. 1979

G F Sasso, and M Romeo, and M Ceccanti, and C Carlomusto, and A Berbellini, and E Nardi, and M Palestini, and R Tersigni

LCAT activity is impaired in chronic renal failure. Our data show that LCAT activity is restored in successful renal transplant patients. Hence, relationship between kidney and LCAT activity can be postulated, but the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully clarified.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007862 Phosphatidylcholine-Sterol O-Acyltransferase An enzyme secreted from the liver into the plasma of many mammalian species. It catalyzes the esterification of the hydroxyl group of lipoprotein cholesterol by the transfer of a fatty acid from the C-2 position of lecithin. In familial lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency disease, the absence of the enzyme results in an excess of unesterified cholesterol in plasma.
