malfunction | the level of 24-hydroxycholesterol esters is lower in cerebrospinal fluid of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis compared to healthy subjects. Oxidative stress reduced LCAT activity in vitro | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | since unesterified 24OH-C is neurotoxic in cell culture, the LCATactivity might be addressed to reduce the amount of this oxysterolfor neuron survival. Enhanced enzyme LCAT secretion from astrocytes might represent anadaptive response to the increase of non-esterified 24-hydroxycholesterol percentage, aimed to avoid the accumulation of this neurotoxic compound. The low degree of 24-hydroxycholesterol esterification in cerebrospinal fluid or plasma might reflect reduced activity of enzyme LCAT during neurodegeneration | Homo sapiens |
