<prompt> Function of LCAT is:Helps in cholesterol synthesisConves cholesterol to cholesterol esterHelps in formation of chylomicronsAll of the above  <response>: The cholesterol cholesteryl ester forms an integral pa of HDLThe cholesterol from the peripheral tissues is trapped in HDL by a reaction catalyzed by LCATLecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase LCAT Phosphatidylcholine-sterol 0-acyltransferaseIt conves free cholesterol into cholesteryl ester a more hydrophobic form of cholesterolWhich is then sequestered into the core of a lipoprotein paicle, eventually making the newly synthesized HDL spherical and forcing the reaction to become unidirectional since the paicles are removed from the surface.The enzyme is bound to high-density lipoproteins HDLs and low-density lipoproteins in the blood plasma
