MeSH definition : 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. EC 2.3.1.43.; An enzyme secreted from the liver into the plasma of many mammalian species. It catalyzes

of a fatty acid from the C-2 position of lecithin. In familial lecithin:cholesterol
