High impact information on Lrat

 

Anatomical context of Lrat

  • Purified preparations of isolated parenchymal, fat-storing, and Kupffer + endothelial cells were isolated from rat livers and the LRAT activity present in microsomes prepared from each of these cell fractions was determined [6].
  • This study characterizes the distribution of LRAT activity in the different types of rat liver cells [6].
  • The Kuppfer + endothelial cell microsome fractions were found to contain LRAT, at low levels of activity [6].
  • The fat-storing cells were found to contain the highest level of LRAT specific activity (383 +/- 54 pmol retinyl ester formed min-1.mg-1 versus 163 +/- 22 pmol retinyl ester formed min-1.mg-1 for whole liver microsomes) [6].
  • The presence of LRAT activity within adluminal germ cells suggests that they receive vitamin A as retinol and synthesize the retinyl esters that have been shown to be present in mature sperm [5].
