'''Cholesterol esterase''' (ChoE) also named bile-acid activated lipase catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of cholesterol, other sterol esters and triglycerides. Deficiency of this enzyme causes Wolman’s disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease. | '''Cholesterol esterase''' (ChoE) also named bile-acid activated lipase catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of cholesterol, other sterol esters and triglycerides.
