They are hydrolyzed by pancreatic enzymes, such as cholesterol esterase, to produce cholesterol and free fatty acids. [1] They are associated with atherosclerosis. [2] Cholesteryl ester is found in human brains as lipid droplets which store and transport cholesterol. [3]
Esterified cholesterol from cytoplasmic liquid droplets are once again hydrolyzed to free cholesterol by acid cholesterol esterase. Free cholesterol can then be secreted from the macrophage by the efflux to ApoA1 and ApoE discs via the ABCA1 receptor. This pathway is usually used by modified or pathological lipoproteins like AcLDL, OxLDL and ...
Neutral cholesterol ester hydrolase 1 (NCEH) also known as arylacetamide deacetylase-like 1 (AADACL1) or KIAA1363 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NCEH1 gene. [ 5 ] NCEH is an enzyme located in the endoplasmic reticulum .
The enzyme sterol esterase (EC 3.1.1.13) catalyzes the reaction a sterol ester + H 2 O ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } a sterol + a fatty acid This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases , specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds.

The human body makes one-eighth to one-fourth teaspoons of pure cholesterol daily. A cholesterol level of 5.5 millimoles per litre or below is recommended for an adult. The rise of cholesterol in the body can give a condition in which excessive cholesterol is deposited in artery walls called atherosclerosis. This condition blocks the blood flow ...
The primary function of lysosomal lipase is to hydrolyze lipids such as triglycerides and cholesterol. [1] These fats are transported and degraded into free fatty acids. Lysosomal lipases function optimally at an acidic pH which are complementary with the environment found in the lysosomal lumen. [ 2 ]
