Characterization of a second sterol‐esterifying enzyme in T oxoplasma highlights the importance of cholesterol storage pathways for the parasite

Lipid bodies are eukaryotic structures for temporary storage of neutral lipids such as acylglycerols and steryl esters. Fatty acyl‐ CoA and cholesterol are two substrates for cholesteryl ester ( CE ) synthesis via the ACAT reaction. The intracellular parasite T oxoplasma gondii is incapable of stero...
