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]. * **UniProt Summary**: 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. |MBOAT| |sterol O-acyltransferase activity| |cholesterol storage| |cholesterol O-acyltransferase activity| |positive regulation of amyloid precursor protein biosynthetic process| |cholesterol esterification| |sterol esterification| |steroid esterification| |macrophage derived foam cell differentiation| |foam cell differentiation| |very-low-density lipoprotein particle assembly| |regulation of amyloid precursor protein biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of glycoprotein biosynthetic process| |fatty-acyl-CoA binding| |positive regulation of glycoprotein metabolic process| |cholesterol efflux| |low-density lipoprotein particle clearance| |plasma lipoprotein particle assembly| |lipid storage| |protein-lipid complex assembly| |plasma lipoprotein particle clearance| |regulation of glycoprotein biosynthetic process| |plasma lipoprotein particle organization| |regulation of glycoprotein metabolic process| |protein-lipid complex subunit organization| |cholesterol binding| |cholesterol transport| |sterol transport| |regulation of plasma lipoprotein particle levels| |cholesterol homeostasis| |sterol homeostasis| |cholesterol metabolic process| |secondary alcohol metabolic process| |lipid homeostasis| |sterol metabolic process| |organic hydroxy compound transport| |maintenance of location| |lipid modification| |steroid metabolic process| |lipid transport| |alcohol metabolic process| |lipid localization| |extracellular structure organization| |organic hydroxy compound metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum membrane| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |endoplasmic reticulum| |chemical homeostasis| |lipid metabolic process| |protein-containing complex assembly| |homeostatic process| |positive regulation of protein metabolic process| |small molecule metabolic process| |protein-containing complex subunit organization| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |membrane| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp499|LY2090314 0.003μM R08 exp499]]|-1.99| |[[:results:exp52|Ribavirin 10μM R01 exp52]]|-1.99| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
