sterol O-acyltransferase
ster·ol O-ac·yl·trans·fer·ase (sterґol a″səl-transґfər-ās) [EC 2.3.1.26] an enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the transfer of acyl groups from acyl coenzyme A to cholesterol to form cholesteryl esters, a step in the metabolism of cholesterol. Called also acyl CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase and cholesterol acyltransferase.
