In enzymology a triacylglycerol—sterol O-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.77) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiontriacylglycerol + a 3beta-hydroxysterol diacylglycerol + a 3beta-hydroxysterol esterThus the two substrates of this enzyme are triacylglycerol and 3beta-hydroxysterol whereas its two products are diacylglycerol and 3beta-hydroxysterol ester.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
