Specifications
Target Information
Canine acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 2 (ACAT2) is an enzyme primarily involved in lipid metabolism, catalyzing the formation of cholesterol esters from acetyl-CoA and cholesterol, which is crucial for cellular cholesterol homeostasis. This enzyme plays a significant role in processes such as intestinal cholesterol absorption, hepatic lipoprotein production, and macrophage foam cell formation in atherosclerotic lesions. ACAT2 is predominantly expressed in the liver and intestine of dogs, suggesting its importance in cholesterol esterification in these tissues. It also contributes to fatty acid β-oxidation and de novo cholesterol synthesis, indicating its broader impact on canine metabolic health.
