Effect of apolipoprotein activators on the specificity of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase: determination of cholesteryl esters formed in A-I/C-III deficiency.

Although it is known that plasma lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) is activated by several apolipoproteins (apo) including A-I, C-I, D, A-IV, and E, it is not clear what the physiological importance of having different apolipoprotein activators is. One possible explanation is that the acti...
