Cholesterol ester:lysolecithin transacylation in the aorta.
Acyl transfer from cholesteryl oleate on lysolecithin to release cholesterol and form lecithin has been demonstrated in the aortic wall. Mechanism of the enzyme-catalyzed transacylation is considered in relation to the arterial cholesterol ester hydrolase.
