Mobilization of cytoplasmic CE droplets by overexpression of human macrophage cholesteryl ester hydrolase
The obligatory first step in the removal of cholesterol from foam cells is the hydrolysis of stored cholesteryl esters (CEs) to release free cholesterol (FC). Neutral cholesteryl ester hydrolase (CEH) catalyzes this hydrolysis, and limiting levels of CEH could play a role in determining the suscepti...
