What Does CEH Stand For?
CEH stands for Cholesteryl Ester Hydrolase
Cholesteryl Ester Hydrolase (CEH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters into free cholesterol and fatty acids. It plays a critical role in lipid metabolism and is involved in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis in various tissues. CEH is particularly important in the process of cholesterol mobilization from storage in lipid droplets, impacting both cellular function and cardiovascular health. Its activity is linked to various physiological and pathological conditions, making it a significant focus of research in metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases.
