Summary: Enables sterol O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in cholesterol metabolic process and response to nutrient. Predicted to be located in brush border; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Used to study end stage renal disease. Biomarker of nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human SOAT2 (sterol O-acyltransferase 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
