Sterol O-acyltransferase 2
Catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters, which are less soluble in membranes than cholesterol. Plays a role in lipoprotein assembly and dietary cholesterol absorption. Utilizes oleoyl-CoA ((9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA) and linolenoyl-CoA ((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadecatrienoyl-CoA) as substrates. May provide cholesteryl esters for lipoprotein secretion from hepatocytes and intestinal mucosa.; [Isoform 2]: Has lower enzymatic activity compared to isoform 1.; [Isoform 3]: Has lower enzymatic activity compared to isoform 1. {ECO:0000269|}.
