Application
Cholesteryl arachidoante was oxidized and used to study the biological effects.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cholesteryl arachidonate is a cholesterol ester found associated with the neutral core of low density lipoprotein. Receptor-LDL complexes are taken up by lysosomes and hydrolyzed to release cholesterol from the esters. The enzyme acid cholesteryl ester hydrolase is responsible for the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters; a defective enzyme can result in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in humans.
Preparation Note
Cholesteryl arachidonate is a clear, colorless viscous liquid in chloroform.
