1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: 2-acetyl-1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate. [EC:3.1.1.47]
phosphatidylcholine-sterol O-acyltransferase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: phosphatidylcholine + a sterol = a sterol ester + 1-acylglycerophosphocholine. [EC:2.3.1.43]
sterol esterase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: a steryl ester + H2O = a sterol + a fatty acid. [EC:3.1.1.13]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
apolipoprotein A-I bindingmolecular functionBinding to apolipoprotein A-I. [GOC:BHF, GOC:rl]

Located In

This protein is located in 3 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
extracellular regioncellular componentThe space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. [GOC:go_curators]
extracellular spacecellular componentThat part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid. [ISBN:0198547684]
extracellular exosomecellular componentA vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm.

TargetCategoryDefinition
high-density lipoprotein particlecellular componentA lipoprotein particle with a high density (typically 1.063-1.21 g/ml) and a diameter of 5-10 nm that contains APOAs and may contain APOCs and APOE; found in blood and carries lipids from body tissues to the liver as part of the reverse cholesterol transport process.
