What is Cholesteryl linoleate?

The Uses of Cholesteryl linoleate

Cholesteryl linoleate was cosonicated with cholesterol to prepare dispersions were prepared to study the cholesterol to phospholipid ratio in red blood cell membrane. It was used as HPLC standard in the analysis of rat liver lipoproteins.

What are the applications of Application

Cholesteryl linoleate is a major cholesterol ester found associated with the neutral core of low density lipoprotein

Definition

ChEBI: The (9Z,12Z)-stereoisomer of cholesteryl octadeca-9,12-dienoate.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cholesteryl linoleate is a major cholesterol ester found associated with the neutral core of low density lipoprotein. Receptor-LDL complexes are taken up by lysosomes and hydrolyzed to release cholesterol from the esters. The enzyme acid cholesteryl ester hydrolase is responsible for the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters; a defective enzyme can result in the formation of atherosclerotic lesions in humans.
