Entrez Gene summary for LCAT:
This gene encodes the extracellular cholesterol esterifying enzyme, lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. The
esterification of cholesterol is required for cholesterol transport. Mutations in this gene have been found to cause
fish-eye disease as well as LCAT deficiency. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: LCAT_HUMAN, P04180
Function: Central enzyme in the extracellular metabolism of plasma lipoproteins. Synthesized mainly in the liver and
secreted into plasma where it converts cholesterol and phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) to cholesteryl esters and
lysophosphatidylcholines on the surface of high and low density lipoproteins (HDLs and LDLs). The cholesterol ester is
then transported back to the liver. Has a preference for plasma 16:0-18:2 or 18:O-18:2 phosphatidylcholines. Also
produced in the brain by primary astrocytes, and esterifies free cholesterol on nascent APOE-containing lipoproteins
secreted from glia and influences cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) APOE- and APOA1 levels. Together with APOE and the
cholesterol transporter ABCA1, plays a key role in the maturation of glial-derived, nascent lipoproteins. Required for
remodeling high-density lipoprotein particles into their spherical forms

  • Defects in LCAT are the cause of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency (LCATD) [MIM:245900]; also
  • called Norum disease. LCATD is a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by inadequate esterification of
    plasmatic cholesterol. Two clinical forms are recognized: familial LCAT deficiency and fish-eye disease. Familial LCAT
    deficiency is associated with a complete absence of alpha and beta LCAT activities and results in esterification
    anomalies involving both HDL (alpha-LCAT activity) and LDL (beta-LCAT activity). It causes a typical triad of diffuse
    corneal opacities, target cell hemolytic anemia, and proteinuria with renal failure
  • Defects in LCAT are a cause of fish-eye disease (FED) [MIM:136120]; also known as dyslipoproteinemic corneal
  • dystrophy or alpha-LCAT deficiency. FED is due to a partial LCAT deficiency that affects only alpha-LCAT activity. It
    is characterized by low plasma HDL and corneal opacities due to accumulation of cholesterol deposits in the cornea
    ('fish-eye')
