背景信息：
ACAT2 is a cytoplasmic enzyme which belongs to the thiolase family. ACAT2 takes part in lipid metabolism, lipoprotein assembly, catalyzing cholesterol esterification in mammalian cells. It is responsible for the synthesis of cholesteryl esters which are part of lipoproteins containing apoB. ACAT2 deficiency contributes to severe mental retardation and hypotonus.
